I’ve always been a fan of growing plants from seed. There’s something magical about watching a tiny seed sprout and grow into a beautiful plant.
A few years ago, I decided to try growing coleus from seed, and I chose the Coleus Pinto Mix. I had no idea what to expect, and that was part of the fun. The result was a stunning array of colors and patterns that filled my garden with life and vibrancy. It was a gardening adventure that I’ll never forget.
What is Coleus Pinto Mix?
Coleus Pinto Mix is a seed mix that produces a wide variety of coleus plants with different colors, patterns, and leaf shapes. The name ‘Pinto’ refers to the speckled and splotched patterns that are common in this mix. You’ll find everything from deep reds and burgundies to bright pinks, greens, and yellows. It’s like a surprise party in a Coleus Pinto Mix seed packet!
The Joy of Growing from Seed
Growing coleus from seed is incredibly rewarding. It’s a cost-effective way to get a large number of plants, and the variety you get from a mix like ‘Pinto’ is amazing. I started my seeds indoors in early spring, and within a few weeks, I had a tray full of tiny seedlings, each one with its own unique coloring. It was fascinating to watch them grow and see their patterns develop.
A Word of Caution
While growing from seed is fun, it’s not without its challenges. I had one batch of seedlings that I put outside too early, and a late frost wiped them out. It was a rookie mistake, and I was devastated. But it taught me to be more patient and to wait until all danger of frost has passed before planting my precious seedlings outdoors.
If you’re looking for a fun and rewarding gardening project, I highly recommend trying the Coleus Pinto Mix. It’s a great way to add a splash of color to your garden and experience the joy of growing from seed.
