| Botanical Name | Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender' |
| Description | This award-winning hybrid is perfect for adding deep color to Houston's shady garden spots. It produces spikes of lavender flowers against rich, dark foliage. While it loves our high humidity, it is very sensitive to "wet feet." In the Houston metro area, ensure it is planted in a location with excellent drainage; if your soil is heavy, compacted clay, consider using containers or raised beds with a light, airy potting mix. |
| Exposure | Partial Shade to Full Shade (Protect from harsh afternoon sun) |
| Height x Width | 1-2 ft. Tall x 1-2 ft. Wide |
| Water | Regular; keep soil consistently moist but never soggy. Drainage is critical. |
| Zones | 10 - 11 (Treated as a seasonal annual or patio plant in Houston) |
| Fertilization | Feed every 2-4 weeks during the growing season with a balanced water-soluble fertilizer. |
| Pruning | Pinch back stem tips to encourage a bushier habit and more frequent flowering. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
