Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

No special preparation needed. Coleus seeds are relatively large and easy to handle.

Sowing:

Start seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date or sow directly outdoors after the danger of frost has passed.
Sow seeds on the surface of pre-moistened seed starting mix or soil, pressing them lightly into the surface. Do not cover with soil as they need light to germinate.
Maintain a consistent temperature of 70-75 °F (21-24 °C) during germination.

Germination:

Germination typically occurs within 7-14 days.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have at least two sets of true leaves and all risk of frost has passed, transplant them into their final growing positions.
Space plants 12-18 inches apart, depending on the variety.

Care and Maintenance:

Provide consistent moisture to keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot, dry periods.
Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
Pinch back growing tips to encourage bushiness and prevent legginess.
Remove flower spikes as they appear to redirect energy into foliage growth, unless you want to allow the plant to flower for seeds.
Protect from strong winds and hot afternoon sun, especially in warmer climates
