Plectranthus fruticosus (100 seeds)

Plectranthus fruticosus. Its semi-woody, well-branched perennial growth habit results in a neat and dense rounded shrub around 1-1.5 m high. The dark green leaves are broadly ovate, can reach up to 120-150 mm in diameter, are coarsely toothed along the margin and slightly velvety to the touch. The dark green venation becomes strikingly noticeable on leaves that are exposed to the sun which on the whole become paler. Sowing: Seed should be sown in spring or during summer, in a well-drained seedling mix, and need only be covered lightly with the sowing mix, clean coarse sand or milled bark. The trays should be kept moist in a warm but shaded position. Locality: Ex Hort. Harvest: November 2023
