Few other plants bloom so dependably indoors, for so many months, and fewer still are as easy to grow as “mona.”. 'mona lavender' is a hybrid form of plectranthus, originating from a 1990s cross between two south african perennial evergreen species, p. It has dark green, glossy leaves with intensely purple undersides and sprays of lavender colored flowers dashed with purple markings.

Flowers Summer Through To Autumn.

Mona lavender plectranthus is a fast growing tender perennial with a bushy, upright habit. Foliage is deep green with dark purple undersides. Foliage is a glossy green and flowers are indeed a lavender colour, rising on spikes above the foliage, flowers are small and tubular in shape but appear in masses.

A Particularly Attractive Form Of Plectranthus That Does Not Spread Like Other Members Of The Family, But Rather Forms A Neat Low Shrub With An Upright, Erect Habit.

If you were to live in tropical south africa, where it was developed, it would be perennial. From late summer through to autumn it produces spikes of lovely, delicate lavender coloured. I recently purchased two and the garden center listed them as full sun perennials.
