Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender'

[longk]

Several years ago I saw a plant at Oxfords Botanic Gardens that I just had to have - Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender'. Despite searching high and low it proved impossible to find for sale here in the UK.
Back in May I went to our village plant sale and I saw a plant that I instantly recognised! So finally for just a couple of quid I had my Plectranthus 'Mona Lavender', small but mine...............

It grew rapidly however................

Finally, it came into bloom and it was every bit as terrific as I remembered....................

I've taken a few cuttings so hopefully I'll have a few in bloom next autumn.

Cor, do you wanna be my friend @longk The only plectranthus I've been aware of up until now is the very common variegated one.... used mostly when I used to grow and sell 100@s of hanging baskets.
Had never thought of investigating other varieties. I will now

I used to grow Plectranthus argentatus at my last house...................

It's borderline hardy in the right spot.

Always had too much other horti stuff to see to, as well as other chores , to even consider growing plants that succumb to the icy weather conditions..... sadly.

That bloom is gorgeous, I'm glad you were able to track it down!

I'm glad you were able to track it down!

Not half as glad as I was to trip over it accidently!
