Description
Plectranthus variegata is a fast-growing, low-maintenance perennial prized for its soft, variegated green and cream foliage. It forms spreading, trailing clumps and is ideal for brightening shaded areas of the garden.
It thrives in partial shade to full shade and prefers well-drained soil. Drought tolerant once established, it is perfect for tough garden spots and coastal conditions. Small pale flowers appear seasonally, adding subtle interest.
Plectranthus variegata works well as a groundcover, in hanging baskets, containers, and shaded borders, providing year-round colour and texture.
