Jo Ann, love the intense leaf colour; Coleus' are fabulous and make for great photographs. Lovely banner!

If you truly love nature, you will find beauty everywhere.

Beautiful banner Jo Ann!

Was going to suggest a burgundy or ruby port.

Very pretty banner.

Beautiful plants.

How do you keep them going during the winter?
Did you see this thread? The thread "Are Coleus species easy to survive indoors?" in Coleus forum

I haven't tried coleus in many years, but hope to have a spectacular coleus display this year.

BTW, I will try dipping a few in sangria.

Cal, I used to take cuttings in the fall and all survived the winter in the house
It became such a job keeping them watered I just gave up and saved an extra few bucks to buy new plants every year.
