In a word, the color spectrum was... \ne, leading to our many advances. Rob Jansen influenced the goals and direction of program greatly before retirement, only now we see the full results of his work. Currently our head of Research and Development, Chuck Pavlich, has begun adding his own talents to bring our program to new heights. With nearly 200 varieties to date, TERRA NOVA%u00ae Coleus powers a number of famous programs around the world. Let us ramp yours up too!TERRA NOVA%u00ae's mantra in breeding is \r goals were met, with some additional features built in! Some of our varieties have never flowered in cultivation, some have flower spikes shorter than an inch long and a few have beautiful flowers that contrast well with their foliage. Using only one plant per pot, they'll branch naturally at every internode without a pinch, and have that perfect habit.The benefits of choosing our coleus over seed types or open varieties are clear, you will save on both time and labor because what you see is what you get! TERRA NOVA%u00ae Coleus root easily, fill appropriate sized containers quickly and stay tidy on shelves better than the competition.
