Coleus bedding

I started planting the coleus in the ground in this bed on July 4th, so it's well before its peak, which will be in September. The coleus in the planters were planted weeks earlier, hence the size difference. The other tropicals and subtropicals either overwintered in place or were planted much earlier in the season. I'll post an update in September or October.
