My Coleus spent a good long time looking like dwarf clover.

But boy-oh-boy, it's taken off now.  I seem to have a few different variety growing. 

There's still Mr Mongo, the largest of the bunch.

I have one that seems to be perhaps a white-dominant variety.

And another that is just mottled all willy-nilly.

I've truly enjoyed growing the Coleus from seed.  It germinated like crazy, so I had to thin out probably 80% of the seedlings.  The remaining ones each have their own little personalities and markings. 

I highly recommend Coleus for the first-time grower; it's amazingly gratifying.
