Giant Coleus

Love the Colour Sarah :D

Great isn't it Jac - it only cost me £1.50 - bargain!

Nice plant Sarah and what a bargain

wow , its some size, great bargain you got Sarah

Aye got to hand it to you Sid.Lovely shot.Personally prefer Sid like a bit of mystery.

They are amazing ,aren't they ?! Looks like one of the giant leaf varieties called 'Kong'.

Thanks F1 - I did look on the web to see if I could ID it. Didn't see any that looked like this one, but I did see the Kong Series plants. Maybe it's a new one?

Have you had it flower yet??????????????????

It's got a flower bud in the centre. One of the others at the stall had already opened and it was a very pretty pale blue. :-)

WOW! How magnificent Sarah! What a bargain! That was more like a steal!! What a prize to be proud of!

Over here in the States it is labeled kong coleus 'giant rose', from the Kong series plants. There is also a Kong 'giant red', this one doesn't have the fuschia pink in the center of each leaf. Hope this helps.

Oh thanks for that F1! Most helpful. I will now be able to lable it! I took 2 cuttings from it when i got home yesterday, so fingers crossed :-)

Nice one, Sid.
but I'll make the same remark to you,
as I did for one of Peter's pictures the other day....

For a keen gardener, you have AMAZINGLY clean finger nails. LOL

Ha ha ha - not today tho! Will have to give them a good scrub as got work tomorrow! No really, I do find it so very difficult to keep clean ;-)

That look spectacular!

It was, Ualda! The parent plant didn't do too well over the winter and eventually died. But I had taken two cuttings in the summer and they are both doing very well - not quite as big as 'mum' yet, but getting there!

WOW!
I've never seen one like that before. What a stunner. Enjoy!
