Pinch flower buds which will make the plant bushier. Mulch coleus to retain even moisture.

Try to plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that limelight is thought of as tender, so it is really important to ensure that the outside temperature is well above freezing before planting or moving outdoors.

By our calculations, you should look at sowing limelight about 56 days before your last frost date.

Transplanting limelight

Ensure that temperatures are mild and all chance of frost has passed before planting out, as limelight is a tender plant.
