Item p4720 Coleus 'Sedona'

'Sedona' coleus was the gateway plant that led to ordering more seeds. I looked everywhere last summer for this plant and never found it. By the time I resorted to online ordering, it was sold out everywhere I checked. I'm very attracted to peachy-pinky colors and 'Sedona' is the coolest coleus color I've ever seen.

How pretty is this?!!!
Item s231 California Poppy 'Apricot Flambeau'

I've failed miserably with fancy Cal. pops. I think it's because I treat them like regular Cal. pops, simply sprinkling seeds in October. The fancy ones never come up. This time, I'm going to try them in pots like Annie's Annuals does.
Item s306 Nasturtium 'Whirlybird Cherry Rose'

I've grown this nasturtium for the last couple years and it's gorgeous. Nasturtiums are so easy from seed, which makes them extra rewarding to grow. This one would be great for kids to try.

Looks like Annie's Annuals' 'Drama Queen' poppy, no?

I'm still trying with this one. I tried it last year and had no luck. Persevere...
Oh, I love your flower photos! I could take all those seeds too! Last spring I had these same seeds: Nasturtium Cherry Rose (it didn't bloom much, those orange and yellow ones were better here) and I'm a big fan of a purple bell wine. It grows slowly first but when it blooms it's really worth of that. Here in North Europe we call it a Fairydress. A charming name isn't it. It's just unbelieveble I recocnized many of your flowers although our climate is totally different.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish these were my photos. They're from the Select Seeds catalog. I'll be more clear about that in the future. ;-)
ReplyDeleteIn the intervening time, have you found a source for Sedona Coleus seeds? I'm looking for them myself -- without any success.
ReplyDeleteNo, just plants. Perhaps it is only vegetatively propagated. It might not come true from seed, or there might be patent issues.
ReplyDeleteA couple online nurseries, including Select Seeds, have plants. You could buy one plant and then make lots of cuttings as it grows. It's called a "tender perennial" and is said to do OK as a houseplant. It'd be worth trying to keep one around. 'Sedona' is gorgeous.
