Yup, Coleus & Moss Rose ... not a fan of Coleus or just not good luck with them. Moss Roses are too cool though. My in-laws have a whole bed devoted to them.....

The rose moss (aka Portulaca) is a heavy reseeder. The Coleus can be propagated EASILY with a clipping Just take a slip and put it in a glass of water and in a few days you will have roots. If you want to have another one just like it next year, I suggest potting up a clipping and winter it inside.
