I took some starts off of a Cordyline and Coleus to combine them in one pot. They seem to go well together and hopefully will make an interesting arrangement. They seem to do good outside and will see how they winter with limited sunlight. Scientific names for bother are below as I found on http://davesgarden.com/.
