Collecting Coleus Seeds: Hybrid Warning

Coleus seeds form after flowering, but the plant dies (annual). Most sold are hybrids—seeds won’t match.

If Collecting

• Allow flowers to form seed pods.
• Harvest when pods dry.
• Only heirloom/non-hybrid seeds breed true.

Better: buy ‘Wizard Mix’ seeds from Park Seed. Or propagate by cuttings in water—roots in days.
