I have a cordayline plant that I have over wintered in the basement for almost a decade. The bottom leaves have come off and it's almost 6 feet tall and a beast to move in and out but the coleus soon take over and look very nice growing around the bottom. Last year I ordered from Rosy Dawn Gardens and was so very happy with the selection, price, and quality of their plants.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13503096710901190795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-5173861991376889792012-02-29T01:02:06.838-05:002012-02-29T01:02:06.838-05:00I think I have grown all those coleus-they are my ...I think I have grown all those coleus-they are my summertime favorites.

I would hold onto it and see what happens when it warms up a bit. The other plants do show some promise. <br /><br />When I lived in FL I had coleus plants that grew wild around our house. They were gorgeous but I like the more single colored ones, too. xo Diana<br /><br />Looks like you have lots to decorate with for Easter. I may host Easter here this year, too.NanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6735463.post-86664695359015834982012-02-23T17:57:09.932-05:002012-02-23T17:57:09.932-05:00I'm not surprised that so much in the containe...I'm not surprised that so much in the containers is still alive. I could live with a winter like this one every year. The other may still surprise you. Just make sure that dirt is damp for the roots and it might revive when you pop it outside. <br />Cher <a href="http://sunraygardening.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Sunray Gardens</a>Sunray Gardenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691531921190526219noreply@blogger.com
