I am not much of a collector of plants since my theory is, if I see a plant I like, I buy it. But, when it comes to coleus, I am always looking for new varieties to add to my collection. There are so many different shapes, sizes, and colors of these plants that it makes it fun to collect them.
My current crop of coleuses came through the cold weather last week with no damage. Coleus grow year around in South Florida but the occasional cold snap is no friend of this beautiful plant and they can suffer damage.
New to my collection this year is this one called “Fishnet Stocking” and very fast becoming my favorite.

Wow...what a wonderful collection of coleus, the perfect colour feast for a dreary winter day! Thanks, Rusty, for that little respite from my winter woes.
I love those, too! They do have lots of varieties, right. Beautiful.
Great collection. I like the names too!
The coleus is a real show-off! I love all colourful plants but nothing to beat the coleus. Your “Fishnet Stocking” deserves a hearty applause.
