Some of the most luscious coleus I've ever seen: colorful and thick with lower foliage. A little on the expensive side if many are needed.

Best fruit trees ever! Everything that comes off of our trees is so sweet and juicy. I can take some credit for it, but it just means that the trees quality is that good.
