<< n another gardening list we belong to a member wanted to use Artemisia
ludoviciana 'Valerie Finnis with Coleus (not sure of the variety) and was
told by her local garden center that;
"The plants they used are not compatible. The Artemisia likes it sunny
and dry and the coleus likes it shady and moist."

If she wants the purple color-she should try Perilla -"Purple Hedge" - This is
a coleus look alike with purple foliage and a metallic sheen with ruffled
edges that should be grown in full sun.
Plants grow 1-3 feet tall and are great for an accent plant or used as a
hedge. Surface sow light need for best germination, 70f,
15-20 days. 50 seeds $2.30
