Welcome autumn with 7 gorgeous plants that thrive in containers and enliven your porch or patio throughout the cooler season
Full StoryAt the swap I brought a few pots of a "mystery to me" plant. You all ID'd it as a new type of Coleus, a duckfoot-style (Solenostemon scutellarioides) and I found its name to be 'Black Knight'. It is green with burgundy stripes and dots (NOTICE: I'm calling it a "FRECKLED DUCK COLEUS" style and no one can stop me!!!) It started out as a cutting from my niece's wedding bouquet last October that grew into a well branched 3' bush in a pot on my deck this summer.
Being new to this world of colorful plants, I had a time trying to find a name (stickler me) but I found a great site that has compiled, from the web, 1,100+ Coleus images with cultivar and supplier info for each, so it is an .org not a .com. Enjoy.
