Planting and Sowing Instructions:

Preparation: Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date for early blooming or directly sow them outdoors after all danger of frost has passed.
-
Sowing Indoors: Fill a seed tray with a fine, well-draining seed-starting mix. Gently press the seeds into the soil, covering lightly with a thin layer of soil.
-
Light & Temperature: Place the tray in a warm, bright area (70-75°F / 21-24°C). Keep the soil moist but not soaking wet. The seeds typically germinate in 10-14 days.
-
Transplanting: Once the seedlings have grown large enough to handle and outdoor temperatures are consistently warm, transplant them into your garden or containers. Ensure proper spacing (10-14 inches apart) to allow for full growth.
-
Outdoor Sowing: If direct sowing, scatter seeds over well-prepared soil and lightly cover. Water thoroughly after sowing and maintain consistent moisture until germination.
Care Instructions:
-
Watering: While the Pink Dragon Coleus is drought-tolerant once established, it performs best with regular watering during dry spells.
-
Pruning: To maintain bushy growth, pinch back the growing tips regularly. This will also promote more branching and more vibrant foliage.
-
Fertilization: Fertilize the plant monthly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer to encourage optimal growth.
