How to Grow Coleus from Seed
Starting coleus from seed is easy, especially when using pelleted forms that make sowing uniform. Here are some tips for success:
-
Sowing Indoors: Begin 8–10 weeks before your last frost date. Place seeds on the soil surface—they need light to germinate.
-
Light & Temperature: Keep at 70–75°F with bright, indirect light. Germination usually takes 7–14 days.
-
Moisture: Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.
-
Transplanting: After danger of frost has passed, transplant seedlings into outdoor containers, hanging baskets, or shaded beds.
