- Color and growth explosion for my Coleus and Caladium in the Shade Bed! Please join me in this video as we walk through this very colorful area of my backyard. I was visiting relatives recently and when I returned, the plants in this bed really grew so I would like to share an update with you. (Here is a link to a video of what this bed looked like when I planted it on March 11th! • Coleus, Forsythia Sage... )
The Coleus I have in this bed are:
- Ruby Slipper
- Big Blond
- River Walk
- Proven Winners Colorblaze Sedona Sunset
- Special Effects
- Kingwood Torch
- Festive Dance

I put the names of the Coleus in the video's description. 😊
I love coleus as well. Such a good feeling when you leave the garden for a few days and return to positive changes and new growth 😊
I love the color coleus can provide since heuchera and hostas don't do well here. So for me it has to be coleus and caladiums! 😊👌
Coleus is the best to add color to a shady area. Just love it.
Oh boy, do I agree with you! 😊🦋🐛🌺
Some varieties do great in sun! SUN coleus varieties and ColorBlaze series!
They really do! I currently have a few sun coleus and three Proven Winners ColorBlaze series coleus this year in my shade garden. 😊 I have been so happy with their performance.
Ahhh!! BEAUTIFUL!!!
There's nothing like coleus to brighten up the garden in such a lush way!!
Oh boy do I agree with you! (I'm loving on my Caladiums too). 😊🦋🐛🌺
What a beautiful shade bed! The color contrast is amazing! I think I need some coleus in my life! Blessings…
Awww - thank you! I don't know why I just looked past Coleus and tried other plants that weren't successful in my clay soil shade bed. Coleus performs and there are so many different types, colors, textures, etc. I'm so glad I tried them ... now I'm hooked! 😀🐛🦋🐝🌺
Lovely! Thanks for sharing.❤
Thank you! And thanks for watching. 😊 🐛🦋🐝🌺
Wow..What a color blast..stunning contrast!
Aww ... thank you! I really like the color this year. Last year I had more of a mish-mash of color in this bed but I could see what worked well. So I tried to focus on that this year! 😊🐛🦋🐝🌺
That’s a gorgeous bed of coleus! 😍
Thank you! I love the vibrant colors that really stand out in our yard. 👍😊
I’m loving your garden shares! Keep ‘em coming!
Thanks so much - I really appreciate your comment! 😊🐛🦋🐝🌺
Looks lovely! I need to add more coleus and caladiums to my shade beds. Thanks for the push!
Thank you! I think the contrasting colors are striking and really catch the eye. As I mentioned in a previous video, I had wanted to get Coral Bells established in my shade garden, but they just didn't like my clay soil and heavy rains. (They also didn't do that great for me in pots). I found that Coleus love the heat, humidity, and water. I can also get really interesting Coleus that have wonderful foliage. I haven't put caladiums into the landscape yet, but I have them in pots as accents. Maybe someday! If you do add more Coleus and Caladiums into your shade beds I'm sure you will be pleased with the results. 😊🦋🐛🌺
So beautiful, all of them! 😍😍😍
Thank you so much! 😊🦋🐛🌺🐦
New subscriber…love the vibrant colors and variations of the coleus, look soo healthy ❤
Welcome to the channel! I am so glad I tried Coleus after other plant failures in this heavy clay bed. I have had a lot of fun looking for interesting Coleus! 😊🐛🦋🐝🌺
Absolutely beautiful!!
Awww - thanks so much! 😊🐛🐝🌺🦋
Wow so nice and cute🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you so much! 😊🦋🐛🌺🐦
Love it.
Thank you! I really like it too. 😊🐛🦋🐝🌺
It's not unusual for some Coleus to revert to their "parentage".
Some varieties do this more often than others.
One way to help avoid this to continue is to pluck the leaves/stems that have the reversion.
Hopefully, (but not guaranteed) this action will stop the entire plant from reverting all the way.
Or keep it the way it's growing, just know the entire plant may eventually "turn".
The same thing happens with varigated trees, and bushes.
When a stem of solid green starts growing, pruning the "offender" away usually puts the plant back onto the variegated path.
Thank you for your response and this great information! I went and looked at all the reversion that has already taken place. I decided to keep it, as it blends with the Big Blond next to it. This is so good to know - thank you again! 😊🦋🐛🌺
@Butterflies & Birds in the Backyard
I kinda like the reversion too!
Do rabbits eat your coleus plans?
No, we are fortunate in that we don't have rabbits (or deer) around that damage the plants. We have other challenges in the garden but not either of these.
