How to Grow Coleus ‘Chocolate Covered Cherry’

Sow seeds in pots or trays filled with fine, free-draining seed compost. Do not cover the seed, as light is required for germination. Gently water and place in a warm, bright position.

Maintain a temperature of 20–25°C. Germination usually occurs within 7–21 days. Keep the compost evenly moist but not wet.

Once seedlings are large enough to handle, transplant them into individual pots and grow on in bright conditions. Coleus can be grown indoors year-round as a houseplant, or hardened off and planted outdoors after all risk of frost has passed.

For bushier plants, pinch out growing tips as plants develop.
