Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender'

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. 'Mona Lavender' grows well as a houseplant in bright, indirect light or partial sun. Day and night temperatures of 50-80°F are fine year round. It has lavender flowers which appear over a long bloom period.
