Sowing Depth: Surface sow the tiny seed and press gently into moist seed-starting mix.

Spacing: Space plants about eight to eighteen inches apart depending on mature habit.

Germination: Warm conditions and light commonly support germination in about seven to fourteen days.

Blooming Time: Coleus is grown mainly for foliage; flower spikes may appear during the growing season.

Care Tips: Pinch growing tips for branching, protect from frost, and remove flower spikes if foliage display is the priority.
