Growing Jazz Combo Mix Coleus Garden Seeds

Jazz Combo Mix coleus seeds are popularly grown as both indoor and outdoor favorites. For earliest spring color, start Jazz Combo Mix seeds 8-12 weeks prior and seeds will germinate in 7-14 days in full lighting. If planted outside, coleus is commonly repotted in the fall to be kept indoors over winter and reintroduced in the spring. Plant 2-3 Jazz Combo Mix coleus seeds 10 inches apart and ¼ inch deep into loose, Organically rich, and well-drained soil in partial sun to partial shade. Jazz Combo Mix seeds will benefit from shade in long summers and direct heat. Do not let soil dry out, but do not over-saturate plants either. Coleus has no serious pests or insects, but monitor regularly for aphids and white flies, particularly on indoor plants. Jazz Combo Mix coleus seeds mature in 84-91 days as 8-10 inch tall dwarfed creeping shrubs with a 10-12 inch spread of densely packed leaves.

Plectranthus scutellarioides, or otherwise known as Coleus, is a shrubby native to the perennially warm climates of India, southeast Asia, and Australia, but has since been naturalized throughout many of the tropics. Plectranthus scutellarioides is also synonymous with Solenostemon scutellarioides (its former taxonomical name) and is in fact a member of the coleus genus.
