In fact, the genus Coleus is now obsolete and considered synonymous with the genus Plectranthus. The "Coleus" of the horticultural trade is actually Solenostemon scutellarioides and it is a tender perennial from Malaysia that is usually grown as an annual in temperate climates. It can be propagated from cuttings and grown for years in a greenhouse or indoors. Sam wrote in message ... Elizabeth wrote: Coleus comes to mind. As luck would have it, I was down at HomeDepot today (on other business) and there was the sign "Assorted Varieties of Coleus ON SALE! $3.97) So I picked one up! :-) Thanks for the info Elizabeth! Just one question: Most info on this plant online indicates that it is an annual (i.e. will die after one year), but the guy at HomeDepot (not their actual assistants, this was another "customer" who happened to be a landscape contractor) said that if this plant is kept in the shade, and in the warmer climate of Los Angeles, it behaves as a perennial and won't die at all. Now I am all confused and don't know what to think! Please clarify! Thanks as always! Sam in Los Angeles |
