# This coleus has died and come back to life more times than I can…

_Posted by Bri bee on 2023-09-08_

This coleus has died and come back to life more times than I can count in the 8 years I’ve had it. My grandmas been bringing it back to life this last time and I’ve regained possession of her. Any tips and tricks with these? I seem to have a difficult time with them for some reason.

Also, if anyone knows what variety of coleus this is, that’s be awesome. I don’t think it’s a ‘Fifth avenue’

It looks like a ‘Main Street Fifth Avenue’ coleus variety. It needs full Sun and possibly fertilizer to see it’s full saturated colors.

Gradually build up to 6 hours of full Sun to prevent sunburn.
