Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender'


		Colourwise Nursery, Glenorie NSW

Plectranthus sp.
'Mona Lavender'

A new and particularly attractive form of Plectranthus that
does not spread like other members of the family.

Uses:	‘Mona Lavender’ is a wonderful solution to shady areas in the garden as well as making an ideal container or basket specimen for sheltered patios or entertainment areas.
Flowers:	Numerous spikes of lavender coloured flowers begin to appear from late summer through autumn.
Growth Habit:	Forms a neat low shrub with an upright, erect habit. Has ornamental foliage of deep green leaves with dark purple coloured undersides. Height 80cm, spread 60cm.
Growing Guide:	Choose a shaded to semi-shade location with a moist but well drained soil. Fertilise with a slow release fertiliser during early spring. A light pruning after flowering will help to maintain a neat shape and encourage denser growth of foliage. Should be given protection from frost if planted in a more open situation.
