There gorgeous YK, I like the pink one with the wide serrated green edge in the second pic and the one in the next pic, these must be named varieties, they dont look like the normal rainbow mix..

I love coleus, as its so easy to grow from seed and aren't fussy outside. Apparently they can be grown as houseplants. Has anyone tried/got tips on doing this?

They look like C. Pagoda? I got 6 from Dibleys too, and of those I think Pagoda will be my most useful - much bigger leaf, and plant, than the norm. and I think it will make the best bedding in-fill for future years. Photos of the ones I got from Dibleys are on my blog:
