Thumb-sized plant plugs of coleus filled a whole tray, gorgeous and bright as 2 inch high babes.
What a jolt of color they will create in a big pot on someone's front porch in June. No wonder they were the darlings of Victorian parlors. New varieties seem to bring out the wacky sense of humor of plant breeders, you can find any of these by mail order or at your favorite greenhouse, I would buy them just because of their names!
