A foliage-first planting choice that adds texture, contrast, and effortless structure to containers and baskets.
Plectranthus is prized for its bold, ornamental foliage rather than flowers, making it a reliable way to keep displays looking full and attractive all season long. Plectranthus Coleoides brings softly trailing stems lined with bright green, variegated leaves edged in creamy white, lightly fuzzy to the touch and gently aromatic when brushed. Plectranthus ‘Silver Shield’ offers contrast and structure, with large, velvety silver-grey leaves, prominent veining, and a strong upright, mounded habit that anchors mixed containers beautifully.
Supplied as large, well-established 10.5 cm rootballs, these plants are garden-ready and quick to settle in. They perform best from spring through autumn, thriving in containers, hanging baskets, and sheltered borders where foliage impact matters most. Easy to grow and forgiving, Plectranthus rewards light feeding and occasional trimming with dense, architectural growth, while any small late-season flowers can be removed to keep plants focused on leaf production.
