coleus Kong Jr.
What a beautiful day and it is Dec. 42 degrees at noon, and sunny high today of 52 while the low is 30. But Wed high is to be 69 degrees. High winds also predicted so wonder if that will take some of the heat away. We will see. This should get rid of the ice that has formed from our storm we had on Friday. Hopefully will evaporate. ENJOY
I am working on plant order. So I was looking at Coleus and the Kong series. They are big leaf coleus as the name would suggest. There is a Kong, and a Kong JR. So my question to you what do you think the difference is. My first thought that the plant would be smaller. But it isn’t Kong Jr. grows taller and wider. What do you think the difference is? Have a look at the pictures does that help.

Prefers full shade for best performance.
So, have you looked at the pictures and the descriptions? Did you figure out the difference?
What you just did is what I do with each of the plants I ordered. Check out the information, look at the pictures and rely on gardeners telling me how the plant grows for them before I order. I must then decide what size of the little plugs and how many I will get in. When will I have them here to plant? What size I will plant the little plugs in for selling.
THE ANSWER is the size of the leaf is smaller on the Kong Jr.
