The varying shades of greens, reds, purples, creams, and beiges always put on a pleasing show for the eyes.
They thrive in large clay pots in the north facing shade garden at the front of the house ... as do my boot planters
Here is my shady pot garden with coleous and white impatience.
It's that time of the week for Cottage Floral Thursday and Fertilizer Friday.
Take time to enjoy the garden today.
Oh my! I love Coleous in your garden pots! I tried planting these in the garden one year, but they didn't survive! I don't know what i did wrong, but i spent so much money on them thinking they'd give me gorgeous color in the garden & have never tried again. Thanks for sharing your post at Cottage Flora Thursday's! I certainly enjoyed seeing yours! xoxo, tracie
ReplyDeleteHi Linda
ReplyDeleteI rarely ever grow coleus or many annuals for that matter. I like how you have the chair set up for a pretty vignette - nice butterfly!

I never knew there a
ReplyDeletewere so many varieties of coleous to chose from.
They look so nice all potted together. I usually use them as an accent plant, but I do like them this way too!
Linda girl are you using that new camera a lot ? LOL .. I love coleus too and usually go for the dark colours and patterns .. I have had it on my front step almost every year .. but now that I see that white impatience with it ? wow ! Now that is a great combination of planters too !
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea girl : )

I particularly like the hanging forms of coleus an use them in window boxes. Your semps in the shoes have caught my eye as well! Larry
ReplyDeleteYour coleus is beautiful. My neighbour has a gorgeous pot this year too. I haven't planted it for years as the earwigs like to eat it but hers is doing fine and there aren't as many earwigs as other year. Maybe I'll try it next year.
ReplyDeleteI am growing some of these this year with some vinca and I am so pleased with them. They are so showy and easy care, too. Don't you just love all their different colors? Love your red one dipped in yellow!
ReplyDeleteThey're one of my favourite plants. You do have a great collection. Love the Coleus and white Impatiens together and those boot planters look terrific.
ReplyDeleteYou have an awesome collection of coleus. Do you winter any of them over? I always think I'm going to take cuttings and then forget all about it. Love the little boot planter too.
ReplyDeleteI really like your combinations. I did not plant any coleus this year, but I might next year. Your plantings are inspiring...
ReplyDeleteI love the boot planters! The shady spot garden with the coleus and white impatiens is lovely.
