10713. | Plectranthus 'Troy's Gold' (Golden) | $4.75 |
|
'Golden Swedish Ivy' is the name we have used for this plant for years, but I see it in magazines labelled 'Troy's Gold'. A trailing variegated Swedish Ivy with slightly oval leaves that feature rounded, serrated edges. Once limited to use as a houseplant, it has become a container favorite. Use in beds, pots, baskets, combos, and as a groundcover. Full to partial sun. 10-12". Can spread to 18" in diameter.

Throughout the warm months of the year appear upright spikes bearing sky blue flowers that rise above the foliage. Plant in full sun to light shade with regular to occasional irrigation. Hardy to 20-25 F. It looks a lot like a Plectranthus coleoides cultivars 'Blue Spire' and 'Variegatus', but is more "delicate". | | | Plectranthus Description Page |

The line between dull and dazzling is plectranthus. A relative newcomer for foliage lovers, this will spin you around as you cross that line. A carefree cousin to the popular houseplant Swedish ivy, this scrambles vigorously over the sides of pots and window boxes. Creamy edged, bright green foliage is the perfect companion to geraniums, gerbera's, and celosia. Foliage has the added bonus of fresh, minty fragrance. Pinch them back to encourage full, bushy growth. Cooler temps mean a brighter indoors, bring them inside in front of a bright window and enjoy them all winter long.

16645. | Plectranthus - Purple (Zulu Wonder) | $4.75 |

If you've ever grown the common houseplant, Swedish Ivy, you can easily grow this purple-leaved cousin. 'Purple' plectranthus develops attractive, fuzzy, grayish-purple leaves, making it an ideal selection for window boxes, pots, planters, or flower beds. To keep the plants bushy, be sure to pinch back new growth frequently. Although the plants are frost tender you can easily overwinter them on a sunny windowsill. Shipped in a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" pot.
'Zulu Wonder' is a new name for Swedish Ivy that has lots of lavender blue flowers from MidAugust to MidJune. Zulu Wonder will tolerate cool temperatures and blooms through 28 degree nights with protection from frost by trees or shrubs (or a blanket). Zulu Wonder blooms somw shade and grows lower and spreads rapidly to fill the space it is given. It aggressively fills large combination planters and baskets and may require pruning to keep it in bounds and deadheaded but you will fall in love with this fancy showoff. The backside of the leaves are purple.

Soft, gray-green leaves are the trademark of 'Silver' plectranthus. This vigorous member of the Swedish Ivy family is a knock-out in pots, planters, window boxes, and hanging baskets. Its a snap to grow and has almost no insect or disease problems. Use it where its delicate color can complement more brightly colored annual flowers such as geraniums, petunias, or Proven Winners.

Member of the same genus - Plectranthus - as Cuban oregano and a dozen other highly prized plants. Not at all hardy, it should be grown in a 6-8" pot, and brought inside for the winter.
