Tropical Plectanthus Mona Lavender Shrubs
When I first saw a Plectranthus Mona Lavender I was in complete awe of this incredible herbaceous ornamental shrub. The tubular purple flowers are so dense the color is overwhelming yet it's hard to believe this beautiful plant is actually evergreen shrubs, flowering evergreen to be exact. The Plectranthus is native to the subtropical and tropical areas of southern Africa. There are many species of plectrantus ranging in different size and color leaves as well as the flower colors which range from white, purple, pink and mauve colored flowers. Being that these plants are so easy to propagate from cuttings, this is a favorite amongst the growers of these plants to share the cuttings with friends and family making these plants grow in popularity with avid and beginner gardeners around the world. Although this is a evergreen shrub it will not grow as a perennial if you live in colder climates, remember this is a tropical plant and it needs to be in environments as close to its natural habitat as possible to grow as it was meant to as an flowering evergreen.
