Can someone please help me identify what kind of plant this is? It is looking VERY sad and I am going to take it from its current location and help the owner save it. THank you in advance.
Thanks for the reply. I have been looking at different species and pictures of your reference and nothing seems to look like it. It was purchased from the local mall planted in this rock. The owner says that it does have a bloom on occasion.
There are many varieties of coleus differing in color, pattern, and leaf shape. It may be difficult to come up with a precise identification.
Coleus. I believe they are pinched back normally to encourage lateral growth, but this one seems to have gone leggy. You might be able to pinch that new growth off, stick it with some bottom heat and hope that it grows, but it's likely not worth saving imho.
Coleus are EASILY cultivated. Stick a cutting in a glass of water and roots will sprout in a few days; then put it in a pot. In the Idaho cold you might give it 2 weeks to sprout.
