Mona Lavender Plectranthus has flower spikes that are covered with dark lavender floretts similar in shape to a mini orchid. Dark green fuzzy foliage is a rich purple when turned over. The more exposure to the sun, the darker the purple gets on the underside of the leaf. Mona Lavender Plectranthus is great in fall landscapes for warmer climates.
