My coleus is booming ♥️

I think you're supposed to pinch them off, but they're just too pretty.

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

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

I’ve heard this as well

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

That being said, I have no idea if they die off after blooming. According to Wikipedia they are perennials though.
