Plectranthus 'Dark Purple'

Swedish Ivy

Plant Type: Annual

This variety of Plectranthus has slightly fuzzy, round dark green leaves with dark purple undersides. It is a vigorous grower with a trailing habit that is perfect for use in hanging baskets or containers. It does best in partial sun to shade in order to keep its leaves from burning, but is otherwise a very low maintenance plant. In warmer temperatures it produces clusters of small white and purple tubular flowers that pollinators enjoy!
