How to grow Coleus 'Carefree Mix'

  • Partial Sun

  • High

Plant in a location that enjoys partial sun and remember to water often. Keep in mind when planting that Carefree Mix is thought of as tender, so remember to wait until your soil is warm and the night time temperature is well above freezing before moving outside.

Growing Carefree Mix from seed

Try to aim for a seed spacing of at least 11.7 inches (30.0 cm) and sow at a depth of around 0.0 inches (0.01 cm). Soil temperature should be kept higher than 65°C / 149°F to ensure good germination.

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

Transplanting Carefree Mix

As Carefree Mix is tender, ensure temperatures are mild enough to plant out - wait until after your last frost date to be on the safe side.
