Bishop'...It's quirky but it makes me happy. Bishop's weed is scary. Once you have it it's very difficult to eradicate. The only way I've had good luck with coleus is to buy large ones and leave them in their pots. Often I plop them on top of places where spring bulbs have left empty spaces. Feed and water them and they're great until frost. I have less luck planting them in the ground. outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6598416695566325151.post-59623705455892329642014-06-16T21:53:24.305-07:002014-06-16T21:53:24.305-07:00You're right Heather!
