Summarized by Shop
Plants are about one foot high and ideal for borders and as houseplants. The rainbow variety is one of the most popular coleus, and this mixture includes the complete color band, from cream to deep scarlet. They do need to have the flower buds removed if you want them to stay compact. If they bloom, they tend to become leggy.

Rainbow Mix Coleus Great
Grew this coleus for the first time. Planted then in pots on the back deck. Your description said you need to remove the flower buds to prevent them from becoming "leggy". Well mine became "leggy" before the flower buds appeared. And what you call "leggy", I call spectacular - 36 inches tall with the flower spikes above and a full and beautiful array of colors.
Will definitely grow more of these.
