A few Coleus

[paphioboy]

Few random Coleus in the garden. Love them because they are very easy to grow in a well-drained soil and responds very quickly to small frequent applications of fertiliser. Bright sun as for Hibiscus. One of the few tropical foliage plants with beautiful leaves in autumn/sunset tones..

This one looks a bit like spinach/amaranth

I like the last one, especially. I used to grow these, but they got too leggy for me.

Thanks all. Dot, these don't get leggy that fast as they branch quite prolifically.
