The Coleus (C. scutellarioides) plants in my outdoor pots were top-heavy. So, after deadheading them, I decided to create a display dedicated to Coleus, alone. Last year, I made an arrangement with foliage, alone, but it included foliage from several plant genera and species. This arrangement, in this post, (above) is simply several varieties of Coleus.
I gathered as many plant tags as I could to ID them, and while I didn't get them all, among them are 'Wizard Jade,' 'Rainbow Multicolor,' 'Red Green,' 'Wizard Scarlet,' 'Kong Lime Sprite,' and 'Black Dragon.' Here they are, in no particular order:
They provide plenty of color and variety for their vase.

What a great collection of different Coleus Beth, I agree that having grown Coleus for the first time in the garden this year, they are as good as any flowers. It made me smile to see your vase, as I too have an arrangement which I did not show at the moment, holding coleus but just one variety.
