Try rooting in some fresh potting soil. I have had this plant and although I don't recall it's name I believe it is a coleus.
I would take a cutting with 2 sets of leaves and take the bottom set off and dip the cutting in a root hormone, tap off excess and stick in a hole made with a pencil. Firm soil around it and keep moist not wet.
I know other folks have different ways, but this works best for me.
Best of luck and I will be sharing cuttings next spring, if I don't hurt myself again.

OTOH, it makes sense that it would be a coleus, being planted with other coleus...
I could be wrong...

I really think it is the salvia. Still no blooms, but it is planted in a space about 16" wide betweeen two buildings, so it doesn't get a lot of sun. The cutting I had in water finally started to root and I potted it up. I took 2 more small cuttings and am trying them in soil. Wilted at first, but look like they may make it now. I will be taking a lot of cuttings in a few weeks from my coleus and will be happy to ship some out for postage or do a trade with anyone that wants them. Will make a list soon.

LOL, things linger 3 years old. I can say that is a coleus.
