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! 😊👌

Thank you! I love all the colors to choose from with Coleus. Since I do let my Coleus flower in the late summer / early fall, I do have Coleus that reseeds itself. They don't grow large for me though. How do your do from seed?

Oh boy, do I agree with you! 😊🦋🐛🌺

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! 😀🐛🦋🐝🌺

Oh boy do I agree with you! (I'm loving on my Caladiums too). 😊🦋🐛🌺

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! 😊🐛🦋🐝🌺

Thank you! And thanks for watching. 😊 🐛🦋🐝🌺

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.

Thank you! I love the vibrant colors that really stand out in our yard. 👍😊

Thanks so much - I really appreciate your comment! 😊🐛🦋🐝🌺

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. 😊🦋🐛🌺

Thank you so much! 😊🦋🐛🌺🐦

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! 😊🐛🦋🐝🌺

Awww - thanks so much! 😊🐛🐝🌺🦋

Thank you so much! 😊🦋🐛🌺🐦

Thank you! I really like it too. 😊🐛🦋🐝🌺

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!

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.
