I tried this last year, but I think it was later in the season. Plus the restaurant guy's were buggie and killed them all off. I may try this with my own clean plants.
You gave me the fantastic idea to ask my Dad if I could pick some of their coleus leaves and now I`m hoping mine will root too! My Mum said that while they were on holiday up north to their friend`s place, she had some coleus leaves as a houseplant inside. I think I`d like to plant some in the garden and maybe try one inside as well if you root for me. Thanks again for the idea!
I appreciate you taking the time and effort to leave a comment. I will try to answer any questions you have. Please note due to Blogger changing word verification so almost nobody can read it, I have had to change to no word verification and only allow registered users to comment.
I am so glad you stopped by to visit my garden. I garden in lower northern Michigan (zone 5) in far less than ideal conditions. I have too many pine trees, too much shade, too many rocks, herds of hosta-munching deer and rabbits who think my lilly buds are gourmet appetizers. I am by no means an expert in horticulture or garden design--just an amateur with a shovel and a passion. My garden changes daily during the summer and I will be updating frequently.
During the winter months, I blog about my favorite cold-weather hobby--quilting and just my everyday musings.
I hope you enjoy your visit, and that you will come back soon.

Have you ever tried growing a coleus as a houseplant? I know it can be done but I have never tried it.
