How to grow coleus
Coleus scutellarioides
When to plant coleus
Coleus is a tender, warm-season annual killed by the first frost, so it is set out after frost danger passes. Clemson notes seed sown indoors takes 10 to 15 days to germinate and 6 to 8 weeks to reach a size suitable for transplanting outdoors.
Coleus is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
