Need Plants for the Shaded Part of your Yard?


Coleus is just the answer!  Turtle Island Botanicals is proud to offer coleus seeds for purchase.  These are some of my personal favorite plants.  This particular mix is of all kinds of different sizes and colors.  The plants grow quite well in shaded areas and will easily flower.  They are easy to manipulate, allowing them to flower and grow up, or cutting of buds to make the plants bushier.  

Cuttings can be taken from stems and branches to create new plants.  Cut a branch with at least one leaf and no more than 3 on it, place it in a cup of warm water and place it indoors in a shaded spot.  Placing a plastic bag over the top will help.  Within two weeks you will have a new rooted plant.   Progressively move it to more light and it’s ready to go!
