I'd suggest bringing your coleus plant inside during the winter if you haven't already. Coleus plants need little sunlight, which, during the winter is great, but also need temperatures of about 55 degrees and up to thrive.
Check to see what Zone you live in to determine if the coleus can winter outside. If it's questionable whether or not is can survive, you can increase the chances by using a rose cone or wrap it in burlap. My suggestion would be to plant them in pots and bring them inside when the weather turns bad.
yes! This is one of the favorites of granny. Just take a cutting (the top 1/2 of a stem) and place it in clean, cool water in the kitchen window. Takes about 2 weeks to grow roots. It will grow happily in the water with no further care than to keep the water in it. Replant in the spring.
A coleus is a tender annual and will not return after winter.
I think the plural of "coleus" is "coleus".
Scientific name: Coleus Blumei (also known as Coleus x hybridus and most recently as Solenostemon scutellarioides)

In the winter a tree enters a dormancy stage, hibernation, and won't grow at all throughout the winter, it is paralysed for the winter. :)

Yes they grow faster in the winter:)
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Coleus x hybridus.
