Mona Lavender Plectranthus

Plectranthus ‘Mona Lavender’ is a beautiful plant that provides heavy blooms in the spring and fall, but sporadic blooms through the summer. The plant is a cousin of the Swedish Ivy and is in the mint family. It does not spread and take over like mint. It is a sturdy plant with thick, dark green leaves. It shows a pretty purple on the bottom side of the leaves. Mona Lavender likes to be moist but not over-watered. Bright light, but not full sun. It is a fast grower when it is happy! Mona Lavender will get about 16-18" tall and spreads approx. 12" wide. Feed after the heavy blooming cycle. You should be able to find Mona Lavender year round in some nurseries but definitely right now
