I think you’re supposed to pinch them off, but they’re just too pretty.
My coleus is booming ♥️

I heard if you don’t pinch them off then the plant slowly dies - is that true?

Just take a cutting before letting it bloom. They make roots super quickly in water.

Oh dear, I just thought that they’d get leggy like basil, maybe I should pinch the flowers off…
