๐Ÿ’œ Coleus babies ๐Ÿ’š

Two years ago, the first thing I grew in my aero garden was coleus. I put them in two big pots outside and they grew so huge!! I brought them inside for the winter and they came back last spring. Last winter, they were in the little greenhouse when the top blew off and it got so cold, they didnโ€™t make it. ๐Ÿ˜”
Once it started to warm up, I started seeing little babies in all my other pots.. the ones that died planted their seeds everywhere before they left! These are a few of their babies. Now theyโ€™re blooming and making seeds of their own. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’š

๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ Coleus ๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿ’œ

๐Ÿ’œI got an aero garden last year and the first thing I planted was coleus. Watching it grow was so fun! When it got big enough, I put it in pots on the back deck and it got huge! It was in my greenhouse over the winter when a storm blew the cover off and I didnโ€™t think it survived. So sadโ€ฆ but what can I do? I waited just to make sure it wasnโ€™t coming back, then used the dirt in those pots to plant other things.. and planted marigolds and painted daisies in the pots. Next thing I know.. thereโ€™s coleus growing everywhere! Itโ€™s in my coneflower, the milkweed, my sunflowers, the rose mallow.. even in the asparagus! It dropped seeds everywhere, not just in its own pots, but in pots that were near it too. How exciting!! Now I have tons of coleus growing when at first, I thought it was a goner. Iโ€™ll have to try to collect the seeds from these so next year I can have even more.. after all, thereโ€™s no such thing as too many plants! ๐Ÿ’š
