Plectranthus Mona Lavender (1 Gallon)

💜 Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender' — 1-Gallon Plant
A graceful splash of lavender and green, perfect for shady corners and secret gardens.

A Bit of History:
'Mona Lavender' is a newer gem, lovingly bred in the late 1990s at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens in South Africa — a place known for its breathtaking plants and natural beauty. Created from tropical ancestors, this Plectranthus was designed to bloom generously even as days grow shorter, making it a rare and welcome sight in autumn gardens.

The Meaning Behind the Blooms:
Lavender-toned flowers have long symbolized tranquility, grace, and devotion. 'Mona Lavender' carries these meanings beautifully, offering a calm, steady beauty to shady spots that might otherwise feel forgotten.

Best Growing Conditions:
This lovely plant thrives in partial to full shade, preferring rich, well-draining soil. It’s perfect for pots, garden beds, or borders, where its deep green leaves (with their rich purple undersides!) and soft lavender blooms can shine without the harshness of full sun.

How to Care:

• Water consistently, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings.

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during the growing season with a balanced fertilizer.

• Pinch back the stems lightly to encourage bushier, fuller growth.

• Protect from heavy frost; bring indoors or treat as an annual in cooler climates.

Charming Companions:
Pair 'Mona Lavender' with ferns, caladiums, or impatiens for a lush, shade-loving display that feels as if it belongs in a quiet, storybook courtyard.
