Plectranthus Mona Lavender - 20cm Pot

MONA® Lavender Plectranthus ‘Plepalila’ is a standout ornamental plant, perfect for bringing colour and life to shaded garden areas. It features striking lavender flower spikes from late summer through autumn, set against lush deep green foliage with rich purple undersides—creating beautiful contrast even when not in bloom.

Unlike many plectranthus varieties, MONA® Lavender forms a neat, compact shrub with an upright habit, rather than spreading, making it ideal for structured planting in smaller or shaded spaces.

Highly versatile, it performs beautifully in garden beds, containers and hanging baskets, especially in sheltered areas like patios, decks and entertainment zones.

Mature size: approximately 60cm high × 80cm wide

Care & Growing Tips
Plant in part shade to full shade in well-drained, enriched soil or quality potting mix.

Water regularly while establishing, then maintain moderate moisture. Provide occasional deep watering during extended heat. Avoid letting container plants dry out completely.

Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in spring and late autumn to support healthy growth and flowering.

Remove spent flower heads to keep plants tidy and encourage continued performance.

Protect from frost and very cold conditions, as it is frost tender.

Ideal for
– Shaded garden beds and low-light areas
– Under decks, patios and entertainment spaces
– Containers and hanging baskets
– Borders along shaded paths or driveways
– Adding colour near water features
