MelC619 Junior Member M Joined: Oct 2002 New Jersey	Hi everyone...i'm new to this website so please bare with me! I absolutely love the red coleus and would like to try planting some in a container. I'm new to gardening, so I'm not that familiar with what's out there. I was hoping someone could suggest some green plants (tall plants and cascading plants) that would go nicely in a container with the coleus. Any growing tips would be greatly appreciated as well.
