Maintenance Notes

Many people feel that coleus look best before they flower. We have worked hard to choose coleus that bloom late in the season or not at all. To keep foliage in top shape, pinch off the blooms as they appear.

How to overwinter coleus indoors:

  • Choose only healthy plants.
  • Bring plants indoors before frost damages foliage.
  • Treat for disease and insects before bringing plants indoors.
  • Place in bright areas and increase humidity by using pebble trays.
  • Be careful not to overwater.
  • When active growth starts in spring, feed and prune as needed.
  • Introduce your plants slowly to outdoor conditions in spring after all threat of frost has passed.

An application of fertilizer or compost on garden beds and regular fertilization of plants in pots will help ensure the best possible performance.
