Coleus (Coleus scutellarioides 'India Frills')
Never had a plant show up as a result from saving seeds, but have a few sprouts this year, from seeds that just fell off of blooming plants! They're in a newer spot that's never been mulched or had compost added yet, (extremely unusual for me, I start most new beds by smothering grass with cardboard & mulch/leaves.) The naked soil surface could be what they need to sprout. Plants that sprout from saved seeds may or may not look like the mama plant, a general rule when saving seeds from any hybrid/cultivar plants.
Cinta, that's odd! Any theories about why your stores were Coleus-less this year? Pretty pot!
