Growing Non-GMO Coleus Jazz Combo Mix Flower Seeds

Jazz Combo Mix coleus seeds are popularly grown as both indoor and outdoor favorites. For the earliest spring color, start Jazz Combo Mix seeds 6-8 weeks prior and seeds will germinate in 7-14 days in full lighting. Plant 2-3 Jazz Combo Mix coleus seeds 10 inches apart and 0.25 inch deep into loose, fertile, and well-drained soil in partial sun to partial shade. Jazz Combo Mix seeds will profit from shade in long summers and direct heat. Do not let the soil dry out or become oversaturated.

Coleus is better known for its foliage than its flowers and is very low-maintenance. Coleus benefits from an extended-release balanced granular fertilizer incorporated into the soil at the time of transplanting. Mixing well-rotted compost into the soil before planting also works just as well in many cases. Jazz Combo Mix doesn’t require any pruning unless desired. To make the plants bushier, when they reach a half foot tall, pinch off the top inch or two of the central branch to the next node. If planted outside, coleus is commonly re-potted in the autumn to overwinter indoors. Cut it back before overwintering. It can be reintroduced outdoors in the spring once freezing temperatures have passed.
