How to propagate coleus – tips to grow new plants from cuttings or seed

Multi-coloured coleus leaves

Coleus are hugely popular plants that are grown for their highly decorative and vivid foliage. They are versatile plants and can be added to summer bedding schemes, used as a great container plant for shade, or grown as houseplants for year-round tropical garden vibes indoors.

There are a lot of varieties of coleus to choose from, coming in a range of colors, sizes, and foliage texture. Coleus are simple to grow from seed in late winter or early spring, or cuttings can be taken in spring or summer to expand an existing coleus collection.
