Plant and garden books speak of foliage plants with such high regard that I\u2019ve always felt guilty for being a \u201cflowers guy.\u201d It isn\u2019t that I don\u2019t appreciate foliage, but my heart sings when flowers appear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plectranthus is a bit of an exception. It has been in my collection for 20+ years. Similar to the geraniums and fuchsias I\u2019ve had for decades, I keep it going through cuttings, which root really easily. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This plant varies from year to year in how great it looks based on my ability and willingness to give it the care that it wants. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
