Annettenoosa

Plectanthus Amboinicus variegated. Has a pungent oregano/mint type aroma - (love it, or hate it - I love it). Edible leaves used in salads or cooked with casseroles or added spice to vegies. Leaves used as mosquito repellant. When weather cools enough to venture out I want to propagate this colourful plant through my tropical garden to try to repel the mosquitoes that love the warm, moist and shady area; it will also add some lovely ground colour contrast. #plectanthus #varigated-cubanoregano
