Planting My Fat And Sassy Coleus! Window Box Planting !

[@barbaraghose8226]

GORGEOUS different colors of coleus!!!!

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

It's so much fun to mix colors with coleus because they have so many similarities that it doesn't overwhelm you.

It's funny you say that because I spent way too long listening to music to put in that video it happens every time

Love the finish look!!!

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

They're just going to get better

[@margesnyder445]

I noticed you take the plant right out of the pot and boom, right into the ground!!! I was always taught to loosen all the dirt first, and if it's root bound I would cut some roots off of the bottom.. YIKES...now I'm thinking I was so wrong using this method, although all of my plants have lived and flourished, now I'm confused 🤔!! Love your videos, I have learned a lot...you are so entertaining, thank you!

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

Do what works I don't know there was a movement in the industry where some of the experts were saying you're doing more damage than good, I have Roots as a landscaper so planting things quickly is very important to me the only time I loosen up the roots is when I'm cramped for space. But keep doing what you're doing if it works

[@annlynparham3246]

Stuart, love the coleus. Did you know that you can bring the plants in for the winter? And did you also know that you can make more coleus by taking cuttings and placing them in a glass of water in the window sill and they will shoot out roots, then you can plant them and get new plants. Now thats a bargin!! Love your show I watch it all the time. AnnLyn from N. M. Zone 7.

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

That is a thing that I know I also know that I'm pretty lazy and I have cats and here in a day I'm going to leave Texas I'm going to have a puppy so I don't know if I have any place in the house where I can win her over some coleus but the cuttings I could probably do that.

[@kyrad6543]

I love coleus. I use a ton of it in my containers because there are varieties that do well in partial sun and full sun. For your window boxes, I put a couple of pool noodles in the bottom to use up some of the space so you don't have to use so much soil. You can cut the noodles to the length of the box and you can even cut in half lengthwise if you want half-circles in there. works great. I use them in all my containers now because I can re-use them next year or even leave them there in the winter (I take most of the soil out).

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

good tip I had just enough thankfully! Looks like two bags will do 3 window boxes. Should have done Coleus in all of them but I put some designer Genes hosta in the other two.

[@kyrad6543]

@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 I love hostas in containers. I think they are a very underrated container plant. They look amazing with some bright impatiens or begonias and creeping jenny. And bonus, you can plant them out in the landscape at the end of the season!

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

@@kyrad6543 great idea! I'm going to go ahead and take some of it home I have flats of it here at the nursery that's a great idea I'm going to do that.

[@jodiv2928]

can coriopsis change variety.. last year I got a sizzle and spice zesty zinger.. it is white an pink reminds me of my favorite star gazer lily.. it was beautiful.. but this year the blooms look entirely different. they have one in the sizzle spice called sassy saffron which I swear it looks like this year.. completely different yellow with a red throat.. can coriopsis do that? change their colors entirely.. they look completely different. im a little disappointed if I lost my zesty zinger because it was beautiful, but the yellow and red ones are cute and I dont mind them but my pink and white were better

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

It's the plant world it's entirely possible and being that the entire plant changed and not half and half that is a little bit of a quandary.

[@a11s10h08]

I experimented and seeded the .25cent packets from dollar tree and they came out great, I just gotta go pinch them 😊 thanks for the tip 👍 🌿

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

Yes that's probably the best way to do it from seed. I just need to get my seat operation going maybe this winter

[@mbrown1393]

Cute and funny video! Does your box get a lot of direct light? I want to try coleus in my railing boxes next season, but I do get quite a bit of sun. Coleus are so cheap and get so big, so thats why I want to try them.

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

Give them a shot. There are sun coleus I see those at Lowe's quite frequently. My window boxes are 100% shade. But quite a bit of sun means you can have quite a bit of fun!!!!

For some reason I doubted your choice of colors to plant together. Clearly I was wrong - that picture at the end of the video left me awestruck - it's a beautiful combination.

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

I like to play around an experiment with stuff I couldn't find a coleus I wanted but I don't think it turned out bad great thing about annuals is you get experiment every year!!

[@nicoleshaw7104]

Lovely! And, I liked the music too! I added more coleus to the front landing of my house. (Maybe torchlight or Kong Rose, and maybe cherry coleus) ;)

[@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141]

I think it's worth the money if you can get it in early and start pinching it and start developing some sassiness.

Stuart, I do not like the "rustic orange" colored coleus. I do not like it by itself in the pot nor in the window box. It just blends in with the brick on your house. 😉
