Hello, I am new to this forum and the world of plants. Can anyone tell me the name of this plant. It was in a hanging basket in someones cubicle.
It may also be a form of Perilla magilla or Magilla Perilla whatever you want to call it. It was a species I only just recently came across myself. I actually thought they were just coleus until I read the tag. Just thought I'd throw that in for extra confusion sorry.
The leaf colors are fantastic! From what I've have read, Magilla Perilla is in the same family as coleus, with the same care requirements....
I have a few coleus plants growing around the house ,by the shape of leaf and colour of your plant I would say it is a coleus
Thanks you all. I just bought some coleus seeds and they are teeny tiny. Sorry if its a dumb question but I am a plant idiot. Will I actually get one plant from each teeny tiny seed? There are 30 seeds in the pack.
Yes. If they all germinate you will get 30 plant. One seed, one plant. Hope this clears it up for you.
Luddite@machen is right. We grew them from seeds, not all seeds grew ,but have fun with your coleus growing
Hey this site is great! I dodn't think such tiny seeds would work. One last Question-Anyone know where to buy "Strawberry Drop Coleus" seeds? Thanks again.
This company are advertising them. See Page 14 http://www.whiteflowerfarm.com/spri...ce+pot_size+zone+options&reset=&pagenumber=14 They sell the plants.. not seed! The flowers are sterile, so the plant does not set seed, or plants will not come true from seed. See..... http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/104659/
I just got some Coleus seeds too......let me know how yours do, I'm going to plant half (10) of mine today:)
