I didn't know I could bring COLEUS in for the winter. So now the have been through the frost and look brown and dead. Can they be bought back to life? Also I cut twigs from some neighborhood trees 
for an outdoor Christmas planter (18" pot) and left the twigs in the soil after. I noticed they have aprouted 
. Will these sprouts just become twigs with leaves 
if left to grow or become trees? Thank you in advance

For the coleus you can try removing the dead leaves and waiting. Continue to water the plant as needed to keep the soil moist and apply a fertilizer. It's possible that new growth will emerge within a week or two, but chances are the plant is dead and should be discarded or sent to the compost pile.
Coleus will not survive cold temperatures,so I would think there is no way to revive them.
Sorry Coleus is annual plant and will freeze in cold climates.
Having trouble ridding my garden of ground cover that's so invasive. Any help would be welcome.
Sometimes we all learn the hard way. Most garden centers have seperate areas for annuals and perenials. There is also good information on the tag that comes with the plant. Make sure you have a tag in the plant you choose so when you get home you can check for light requirements and spacing of plants. Unfortunitly they usually don't list if there perenials or annuals. Good luck and keep the questions coming.
