Plectranthus neochilus

Description

Plectranthus neochilus

Plectranthus neochilus, commonly known as the Lobster Flower, is a captivating plant that offers far more than its quirky common name suggests. This remarkable species showcases a stunning array of colours and textures, making it a true standout in any conservatory or container setting.

The oval-shaped leaves are complemented by delicate lavender and dark blue-coloured flowers that appear in small clusters. The leaves have a distinctly crinkled, almost ruffled texture that adds to the plant’s visual appeal.

Good in sun, partial shade or full shade. Plectranthus neochilus forms a compact, mounding habit, reaching around 12-18 inches in height and width. Its versatility allows it to excel as a standalone specimen, cascading over the edges of containers, or as part of a larger mixed planting. The captivating colours and textures of this Plectranthus make it a true living work of art.
