Professional Growing Information I use strawberry drop in combination with euphorbia & 2 different orange calebrachoa in a wide hanging basket. It looks great every year! One of my favorite combos for a very sunny southeast corner. This low growth habit mixes well with others. Takes wonderful photos so too bad I cannot post one here. . .

Maintenance Notes:Many people feel that coleus look best before they flower. To keep foliage in top shape, pinch off the blooms as they appear if you wish.
Rules of Thumb for Overwintering Plants Indoors:
1. Choose only healthy plants
2. Bring Plants indoors before frost damages foliage
3. Treat for disease and insects before bringing plants indoors
4. Place in bright areas and add humidity using pebble trays or spray bottles
5. Be careful not to over water
6 When active growth starts in spring fertilize and prune as needed
7. Introduce your plants slowly to outdoor conditions in spring

Love for low maintenance, it grows beautifully on my overexposed patio, year after year I will pick it over any other plant. Great in combination with other coleus variety and purple fountain grass. Add some sweet potato vine- your pot is the best!
