Looking for Coleus Topiary Pictures

24 years ago

Im in the process of training Coleus into a topiary. Has anyone else done this? and if so, do you have pictures of it that you can share. Also...is there a place on garden web where we can post pictures of our topiary creations?

Thanks and Happy Growing,

Paula

I've made a Coleus topiary. It took using the best branch and straightest, keeping all the tips pinched regularly, and in a smallish pot. It looked great, the leaves were full sized but I kept trimming them. I started a small bare straight 'branch' in water until it rooted. Sorry I don't have a picture, but I'm making another, since the last didn't survive the move.

Hey All!
For anyone who is interested in starting a Coleus topiary, Garden Gate Magazine has a how-to article (June 2003 Issue #51) on how to start one. Great instructions w/picture graphics.
