My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Coleus

9 years ago

Planted a variety of coleus in a small flower bed this year.

    I've always used coleus in pots. Never, ever thought to plant it directly into the ground. Thanks for the idea, Hibiscusmaniac. I have mostly shady gardens, so I think I'm going to try the in-ground approach. Didn't know it rooted easily in water, either, Omar. Will get some cuttings rooted off the coleus I currently have and plant it around in my bare shady spots in the gardens. Thanks for the tip!
