Pinetree Garden Seeds Watermelon Sun Coleus

Yes, this variety is specifically bred to handle full sun, particularly in humid regions. While it adapts well to shade, it is one of the few Coleus types that won't wilt or scorch when exposed to brighter light.

The most important thing to remember is that these seeds require light to germinate. When sowing, press them firmly into the surface of your seed-starting mix but do not cover them with soil.

You should start your seeds indoors 8 to 12 weeks before your last frost date. Once transplanted, the plants will grow to a mature height of 28 to 30 inches and a width of 18 to 22 inches.

Absolutely. Their upright growth habit makes them excellent for containers. Just be sure to provide consistent watering and regular fertilization, as container-grown plants dry out and use nutrients faster than those in the ground.

They thrive in average to fertile, well-drained soil. If you are planting in containers, use a high-quality potting mix to ensure proper drainage and nutrient availability.

For the best results and to allow for proper airflow, space your transplants 12 to 18 inches apart. This spacing gives them enough room to reach their full width of up to 22 inches.
