Ruffled burgundychocolate leaves rimmed in electric chartreuse fromColorBlazeWickedWitchcoleus push upward as the thriller, salmonorange CampfireFlamebidens fill the midlayer with daisy wheels from late spring through fall, and plush, limeyellow LemonCoralsedum spills over the rim like seafoam. The trio tops out around a foot tall, cascades nearly two feet, and keeps that hot palette glowing from the moment you plant until frost. Heatborn in Mexico and Australia, these ProvenWinners selections shrug off high temperatures, short dry spells, and hungry deer. Bidens lures bees, coleus prefers to show off its foliage, and the sedum adds droughtproof texture, so the recipe works in patio tubs, hanging baskets, balcony boxes, or frontborder pockets. WickedWitch has an upright habit, Campfire is mounded, and LemonCoral trailsthriller, filler, spiller all in one pack. Blended Family Combination Care Choose a 14 to16inch container with a drainage hole and fill it with lightweight, peatfree potting mix blended with a slowrelease fertilizer. Set the pot where it receives four to eight hours of direct sun; morning light plus dappled afternoon shade keeps the coleus colors richest. Water when the top inch of soil dries, letting excess drain away; feed every other week with watersoluble plant food to keep bidens flowering hard. Pinching coleus tips once in midsummer thickens the crown, while bidens and sedum drop spent petals and needles on their own. Coleus can winter indoors near a bright window, functioning as a foliage houseplant until spring returns, and LemonCoral acts as a tender perennial in Zones711. In most climates the whole combo is replanted each year, yet cuttings of coleus root quickly in water if youd like to save pieces before frost. Blended Family Combination Spacing For one lush, finished container, plant one coleus liner in the center, tuck the bidens just off center, and slide the sedum to the rim; all three root balls fit comfortably in a 14inch pot. If youre upsizing to an 18inch patio bowl, double the sedum to two liners for a thicker skirt. Plant groupings in the landscape 18inches apart so mounds meet by midsummer without crowding. Use at least a twogallon potbigger is betteras the final root mass fills space quickly. Reviews There are no reviews yet.
