Plectranthus is the perfect shade plant that gives plenty of bold and bright coloring for the landscape.

Mona Lavender Plectranthus loves filtered sun to shade. It prefers a moist soil and provides plenty of non- stop purple blooms against gorgeous dark green foliage. Use a time release fertilizer and water when dry. Mona Lavender may be damaged by frosts and freezes but will come back if protected by mulching around the base of the plant. Otherwise, take cuttings before the frost and you will be rewarded with a new plant. Encourage a compact growth habit by periodically trimming the tips of new shoots. Remove old flower heads as the blooms decline. This is a colorful new plant for container gardens to display at entrances, on patios and as a balcony or porch display. Also use as a bedding plant for annual or perennial gardens to provide colorful fall foliage and flowers. More than 6-inch-long spikes of lavender blossoms open throughout the growing season.
