Planting and Sowing Instructions:
-
Sow Indoors (4–6 weeks before the last frost):
-
Fill seed trays or small pots with a light, well-draining seed-starting mix.
-
Sprinkle the seeds evenly on the surface and gently press them into the soil. Do not bury the seeds deeply, as they need light to germinate.
-
Keep the soil moist and maintain a temperature of 65–75°F (18–24°C) for optimal germination.
-
Once seedlings have emerged and are large enough to handle, harden them off by gradually exposing them to outdoor conditions for 7–10 days.
-
-
Direct Sowing Outdoors (after the last frost):
-
Prepare your garden bed by loosening the soil and adding compost for improved fertility.
-
Sow seeds directly in well-draining, slightly acidic soil, spacing them about 12 inches apart.
-
Water the area thoroughly and ensure consistent moisture throughout the growing season.
-
-
Care and Maintenance:
-
Keep the plant in a shaded area for best growth, as coleus thrives in partial to full shade.
-
Water regularly but allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.
-
Pinch back the tips to encourage bushier growth and more vibrant foliage.
-
Remove any spent flowers to maintain the plant’s attractive appearance.
