    Customer photo review of Coleus Blumei Seeds - Rainbow Mix

    I bought a packet of these seeds years ago…like maybe 5 or 6. I started seeds indoors and grew them in pots for a few years in my former zone 5. We moved to zone 8b and between the move, the packet of leftover seeds were stored a bit haphazardly. They were kept dry and in the dark, but were in an outdoor storage unit with our gardening stuff until we got into our new house….about two years. I had a planter that needed some color this spring, so I direct sowed some of those leftover seeds and ended up with this beauty. Very low maintenance and super easy to grow. All that to say, I’ve have pretty good luck with Eden Bros seeds and this packet of old seeds confirms the quality.

    These germinated beautifully indoors under my grow light, but they did not withstand the first 2 mild mornings in May when I tried to harden them off in shade. They basically disappeared in the container by the 2nd day. I guess I had worse luck with these than other growers.

    Coleus Blumei Seeds - Rainbow Mix

    I planted several in January in preparation of my garden. These seeds had the highest germination rate. They are growing strong and I am excited to transplant them to my annual garden in April. Some colors have started showing on the leaves and I am excited to see what pattern will be revealed on each plant. Will be buying again next year!
