And it’s hard to think of a more Coleus-filled place than Rosy Dawn Gardens, a Michigan-based mail-order nursery that for 23 years has specialized in Coleus, Coleus and more Coleus – with a collection at the moment of 200-plus varieties. Not just upright ones, but mounding and trailing varieties, too, and in every imaginable leaf color and pattern — and shape, size and texture of foliage, too. 

In case you haven’t guessed already, Coleus is our topic today, and my guest is Pam Quackenbush, who with her husband, Glenn, owns and operates Rosy Dawn. I reached out to Pam, who began collecting Coleus in the 1990s, for a bit of a guided tour through the diversity of the species, and some practical tips on growing Coleus and more.
