How to grow Rainbow Mix Coleus seeds

Choose Your Planting Method

• Indoors: Start seeds indoors 8–10 weeks before the last frost.
• Outdoors: Transplant out after all frost danger, when the soil is warm; direct sow outdoors only in warm climates.

Prepare Your Materials

• Seed-starting trays or pots (if indoors)
• Well-draining potting mix
• Humidity dome or plastic wrap to hold in moisture
• Spray bottle for misting

Sowing the Seeds

• Surface sow — press the tiny seeds into moist mix, do not cover; seeds need light to germinate.

Provide the Right Conditions

• Light: Bright, indirect light.
• Temperature: 70–75°F (21–24°C).

Germination

• Expect germination in 10–20 days.
• Keep consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Transplanting

• Transplant after frost when seedlings are sturdy.
• Harden off for 7–10 days before planting out.
• Space plants 10–12 inches apart.

Care Tips

• Sun: Partial shade to shade (some morning sun is fine; harsh afternoon sun can scorch leaves).
• Water: Keep evenly moist.
• Fertilizer: Feed every 2 weeks with a balanced fertilizer in the growing season.
• Pinch the growing tips to encourage branching, and remove flower spikes to keep the foliage full.
