what do i do with coleus plants in winter

You'll need to take them indoors, Edna. Frost will kill them. They do make good houseplants for a while, as long as you pinch out the flowers. Once they start dropping their leaves, it's time to compost them (or possibly take cuttings) and start new ones from seed.
