Alabama Sunset' is a popular and durable sun-tolerant coleus.
This coleus is on my friends back deck. She knows – because I just had to tell her — that coleus should be pinched back. I admit this trailing plant is very pretty and continuously blooming. Most long time gardeners would have rushed to this plant and made 2 dozen cuttings imediately.
Pinch Plants for Better Growth
It just occurred to me when I saw this plant, that we don’t have to follow the rules or even an experienced gardeners advice.
Relax. Be happy. It is OK to NOT follow the rules all the time. You don’t Have To pinch plants. If you don’t, this is what will happen.↑ (see above photo) That’s OK too.
