Plectranthus hadiensis var. 'tomentosa'

Plectranthus are warm-climate plants occurring largely in the southern hemisphere. Closely related to Solenostemon, they are commonly called spurflowers. They can be grown in a cool greenhouse or conservatory or outdoors in baskets, pots or in sunny borders. The foliage is often ornamental and the flowers are small but are often borne in good-size racemes in shades of purple, pink, white, or blue. The Vick’s plant can survive in temperatures that drop to around 20F. It can be planted in the garden as ground cover or in a container garden. In the garden, choose a location that is sunny or partially shady.  If planting in a container, consider adding other succulents.
