Coleus FAQs
My Coleus has dropped its leaves over night!
Coleus are very sensitive to cold, and will die if exposed to frost. Make sure to plant Coleus well after the danger of frost has passed.
Coleus can easily be rooted in water or with rooting hormone in soil. However many varieties are patented so propagation is prohibited.
