GORGEOUS different colors of coleus!!!!
It's so much fun to mix colors with coleus because they have so many similarities that it doesn't overwhelm you.
It’s nice to see another guy in the area that gardens. Way too few of us around here lol. I love your videos
Sweet I'm glad you stopped by Buddy
I noticed you take the plant right out of the pot and boom, right into the ground!!! I was always taught to loosen all the dirt first, and if it's root bound I would cut some roots off of the bottom.. YIKES...now I'm thinking I was so wrong using this method, although all of my plants have lived and flourished, now I'm confused 🤔!!
Love your videos, I have learned a lot...you are so entertaining, thank you!
Do what works I don't know there was a movement in the industry where some of the experts were saying you're doing more damage than good, I have Roots as a landscaper so planting things quickly is very important to me the only time I loosen up the roots is when I'm cramped for space. But keep doing what you're doing if it works
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 thanks so much for the speedy response, I appreciate you taking the time to answer me !
Love that you included an after! You are very good on camera. I think with a little effort you could make a go of being a UA-camr with a lot of subscribers. I watch a lot of UA-cam and I enjoy you! You have also got me hooked on Lowes clearance shopping🤪
if what I'm doing now is considered less than a little bit of effort I have a gross misunderstanding of what hard work means. I work 60 hours a week and spend every weekend on UA-cam I have nothing left in the tanks. Thank you for the compliment and the comment 😊
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 I surely didn’t mean to upset you. I really do like your videos. I’m sorry I didn’t mean you don’t work hard!
@@RC-mc6rc no I didn't take it that way that's why I thank you for the comment I have no idea how these UA-camrs put out three videos a week. But they're most likely doing it full time and I feel like sometimes I can't breathe just with my normal job.
Digging the dad bod!! Looking very sassy 💁♂️
Yes I have somewhat fallen from Grace.
Stuart, love the coleus. Did you know that you can bring the plants in for the winter? And did you also know that you can make more coleus by taking cuttings and placing them in a glass of water in the window sill and they will shoot out roots, then you can plant them and get new plants. Now thats a bargin!! Love your show I watch it all the time. AnnLyn from N. M. Zone 7.
That is a thing that I know I also know that I'm pretty lazy and I have cats and here in a day I'm going to leave Texas I'm going to have a puppy so I don't know if I have any place in the house where I can win her over some coleus but the cuttings I could probably do that.
love this
Thanks for stopping by William I appreciate the comment
Good music!
It's funny you say that because I spent way too long listening to music to put in that video it happens every time
Those are some nice sassy coleus
Oh when I got a lot of Summer left they're just going to get sassier and sassier
I love coleus. I use a ton of it in my containers because there are varieties that do well in partial sun and full sun. For your window boxes, I put a couple of pool noodles in the bottom to use up some of the space so you don't have to use so much soil. You can cut the noodles to the length of the box and you can even cut in half lengthwise if you want half-circles in there. works great. I use them in all my containers now because I can re-use them next year or even leave them there in the winter (I take most of the soil out).
good tip I had just enough thankfully! Looks like two bags will do 3 window boxes. Should have done Coleus in all of them but I put some designer Genes hosta in the other two.
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 I love hostas in containers. I think they are a very underrated container plant. They look amazing with some bright impatiens or begonias and creeping jenny. And bonus, you can plant them out in the landscape at the end of the season!
@@kyrad6543 great idea! I'm going to go ahead and take some of it home I have flats of it here at the nursery that's a great idea I'm going to do that.
For some reason I doubted your choice of colors to plant together. Clearly I was wrong - that picture at the end of the video left me awestruck - it's a beautiful combination.
I like to play around an experiment with stuff I couldn't find a coleus I wanted but I don't think it turned out bad great thing about annuals is you get experiment every year!!
The poem!!! 😂
I made that up all by myself!!!
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 the song is now stuck in my head 🤪
Cute and funny video! Does your box get a lot of direct light? I want to try coleus in my railing boxes next season, but I do get quite a bit of sun. Coleus are so cheap and get so big, so thats why I want to try them.
Give them a shot. There are sun coleus I see those at Lowe's quite frequently. My window boxes are 100% shade. But quite a bit of sun means you can have quite a bit of fun!!!!
Your window box is going to be fabulous in a month or so!! Thank you for another fun video! Love your sense of humor!!
I'm glad you're enjoying the videos 😉
Beautiful window box! Love the after shot. The coleus look soooo beautiful. Always enjoy your videos and your sense of humour. Thank you!
Well thanks for stopping by I have a sneaking suspicion this video isn't going to be able to compete with the other videos but it was fun to make!
I used coleus last spring in a larger container and it got huge and beautiful. I can imagine that your window box will look beautiful in no time.😍
After a couple of weeks they look pretty good the picture at the end shows what they look like as of yesterday. And I still got a lot of Summer left to pinch him and feed them and keep them watered I'm pretty excited to see what happens
We’re you really in the coast guard with Laura??? Or is that a joke 😹😹😹😹
Ask Laura...!!
Love the finish look!!!
They're just going to get better
I experimented and seeded the .25cent packets from dollar tree and they came out great, I just gotta go pinch them 😊 thanks for the tip 👍 🌿
Yes that's probably the best way to do it from seed. I just need to get my seat operation going maybe this winter
Thank you 😊you're video last week inspired me I planted coleus in my window boxes yesterday 😊
I really like how these turned out. This is the first house I've had that has had shade window boxes
I didn't know you were supposed to pinch them, I wondered why mine were getting tall and not bushy
It's not too late pinch him get them all fat and sassy
HOOT!!!
Sassy!!!!
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 ALL of the above! hee hee!
I was today year's old when I learned that human waste can be processed into fertilizer 🤢 but I guess it makes sense if we are willing to use chicken, cow, or bat 💩
Plus there's a lot of it I mean might as well do something with it
I love it. Can’t wait to see this the next tour
It's coming those are a long edit so it's going to take some time
Really like that color combination. And of course, love when you wear blue. Lol
Oh Jill flattery will get you everywhere 😂😆😂
Flip the tag up on the Walmart plants to read all about them. Name, growing etc…🌱
Great tip I feel like I usually do that just out of habit well those pots got recycled so that ship is sailed lol!!!
GA Laura will be so jealous when she sees this!
LOL yeah I'm sure!!!!! LMAO!!
Lovely! And, I liked the music too! I added more coleus to the front landing of my house. (Maybe torchlight or Kong Rose, and maybe cherry coleus) ;)
I think it's worth the money if you can get it in early and start pinching it and start developing some sassiness.
Curious as to why you put bigger coleus on the end?. I would have thought to put them in the middle. Great vid as usual. Sassy!
Who knows lol!!! Didn't think that much about it really 😅😃 I don't know I pinch coleus so much that everybody will probably get around the same size.
Oh wow. I love that combination. I never put mulch in my planters but maybe I need to start because they do retain water.
It's something I do all the time and never suffered any ill effects. I started to do it at the nursery on things I have to hand water to keep from splashing all the soil out of the pots worked great and have been doing it for the past 20 years.
It’s going to look GRADIOSE in a few weeks!!! Great colors!
If you go to the end of the video that picture I took this morning.
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 oh wow!!! I love coleus and at the end of summer I am planning on taking cuttings because I can make a lot of free ones for next summer!!! I’m tired of the crazy prices! I also bought some seeds……. We will see what kind of gardener I truly am! 🤣
I only recently learned about Milorganite.....maybe on this channel, I can't remember. Used it for the first time today. :-) Thanks for the fun video! Throw us an update in the FB group once they grow into their full sassyness.
Will do!!!
Oh another awesome video!! Love love love!!!! # Plant Guy 👍😊
I've been sitting on that video for a couple weeks not on purpose just haven't had time to put it out there thank you for the comment like always you rock!
Stuart, I do not like the "rustic orange" colored coleus. I do not like it by itself in the pot nor in the window box. It just blends in with the brick on your house. 😉
What about in a box or with a fox sitting on a pile of rocks you do not like rustic orange coleus. LOL it looks ok I couldn't find any confetti coleus which was really what I was after.
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 I do like Dr. Seuss
I love that one best!
can coriopsis change variety.. last year I got a sizzle and spice zesty zinger.. it is white an pink reminds me of my favorite star gazer lily.. it was beautiful.. but this year the blooms look entirely different. they have one in the sizzle spice called sassy saffron which I swear it looks like this year.. completely different yellow with a red throat.. can coriopsis do that? change their colors entirely.. they look completely different. im a little disappointed if I lost my zesty zinger because it was beautiful, but the yellow and red ones are cute and I dont mind them but my pink and white were better
It's the plant world it's entirely possible and being that the entire plant changed and not half and half that is a little bit of a quandary.
Too funny!
Glad you enjoyed the content it's kind of hard to make planting coleus in window boxes funny.
You had me at Milk Milk Lemonade! How in the world did you keep a straight face quoting it! Great entertaining video, as always and learned some things along the way. I'm lazy and tend to plant P.W. Colorguard Coleus that don't require pinching. Your orange ones were my favs.
Well I need to get some of those then the less maintenance the better as far as I'm concerned. And I'm glad you enjoyed the video. And how do you know I kept a straight face I can take as many takes as it takes.
Please don’t break my heart!!! Tell me that my big and sassy Red head Coleus picture on the Facebook group last year was you inspiration for these window boxes lol???🙏🏻🤗
Oh you know that's what it was!!!
You know that show Tough as Nails? There should be a Fat and Sassy spin-off....
...incidently, have you ever thought about about going trying out for Tough as Nails? Why not? ...but may be after the bird bath pimping video 😁
I feel like I would be more suited for tough like cotton candy is there a show like that?
@@landscaperescuewithstuartm6141 listen, there's video evidence of you walking pass aisles of discounted horticulture without throw a whole heap of them in your hot wheels so I dont want to hear none of that humble talk. That's tough in my book.
That moment when the coleus becomes the nagging wife hahahaha!!
Nothing is ever good enough for the fat and sassy coleus
Looks great! I have the exact same no name Coleus too lol 😆
Great minds and all that jazz!!!
How are you not melting? Wonderful looking coleus.
And they're pretty inexpensive I put hostas in the other two window boxes and what I should have done is done coleus cuz they have done fantastic
3:22. You're not OCD. If you really were you'd be C-D-O in alphabetical order. 😂
LOL 🤣😆🤣
No name Coleus is pretty
I liked them. Someone mentioned in the comments that the name is on the back of the tag 😂
