The Eco+Grande features nutrients embedded in the container walls, which help plants grow bigger and faster throughout the season when planted in the ground. Be sure to remove the tabs from the container before planting. If you choose to plant in a container, we recommend taking the plant out of the Eco+Grande, breaking it apart, and mixing it into the soil at the time of planting. When the Proven Winners Eco+Grande container is discarded in the garbage can, it will naturally break down faster in a landfill than a traditional petroleum made container. The container will get smaller and smaller until microbes consume it, turning it back into an inert organic product. Learn more about this in our blog

Care: Fertilize weekly with Proven Winners Water Soluble Plant Food for best performance. Many people feel that coleus look best before they flower. We have worked hard to choose coleus that bloom late in the season or not at all. To keep foliage in top shape, pinch off the blooms as they appear if you wish.

I like to test out plants in my own garden before recommending them to clients, and this plant has definitely become one of my new favorites. I will be including it in several future projects. The plants I received looked stressed when they arrived, but customer service assured me they would recover, and they did. I was also sent some additional plants to make up for the stressed looking ones, and they did awesome also. This is actually the best customer service I have experienced in a long time. Highly recommend proven winners direct. If I could figure out how to get them to ship me a bulk amount, they would be my new go to supplier.
