Hi there,
I'm new to this community, but very interested in learning more about gardening. These are the coleus varieties I've grew last summer, but not sure what are their names. Please shout out if you know their names so I can purchase them again.
Thanks!

The one in the middle looks like it could be Wizard Coral Sunrise. They look like coleus grown from a seed mix to me. You could try looking through here at Rosy Dawn Gardens:
https://rosydawngardens.com/ for plants
and also here at Swallowtail for seeds. https://www.swallowtailgardens...

Kong coleus have very big leaves compared to other coleus. Did your coleus grow into plants with large leaves like the one pictures here?

Thanks LorettaNJ for the info!
The largest leaves were about 2-3 inches. I'm not sure if that's large for coleus. I purchased the plants from our local nursery. I'd like to purchase the same ones. I will check out the link you've provided.
Thanks again!

Your welcome! Chances are they will carry it again. 2 to 3 inches is not Kong.
