Description
Plectranthus ‘Mona Lavender’ is a stunning, compact, and fast-growing perennial prized for its rich lavender-purple flowers and deep green foliage with purple undersides. This hybrid plant, developed in South Africa, thrives in part shade to full shade and grows to about 50 to 75 cm tall, making it perfect for borders, containers, or as a houseplant.
From late summer to autumn, Mona Lavender produces elegant spikes of tubular lavender flowers that rise above the dense foliage, creating a striking contrast. Its glossy, ovate leaves provide year-round interest, adding texture and color even when the plant is not in bloom. The plant attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing the garden’s biodiversity.
Mona Lavender thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and benefits from regular watering, though it tolerates short dry spells once established. It prefers warm temperatures and should be protected from frost, as it is sensitive to cold conditions. Light pruning after flowering encourages bushier growth and more blooms in the next season.
Low-maintenance and versatile, Plectranthus ‘Mona Lavender’ can brighten up shaded corners, patios, or indoor spaces. Its vibrant floral display and lush foliage make it a standout addition to any garden or home.
