| easy to grow, fantastic colors, and tasty both in salads and cooked as greens. Also came on nice and early. Bolted in the summer heat, as expected, and I'll try cutting it back harder to see if I can get those side shoots. This was a huge hit at market because of the colors. |

| This is a great all around plant. I used it mostly in salads as the neon colors were a hit. There is neon green, distress orange, deep purple etc. Also is a great filler for cut flower arrangements. Cut it back and 4 or 5 more shoots come up. Prettier than coleus and a lot easier to grow. Goodto eat too. Didn't try to cook it though., |
