Plectranthus Ecklonii
An evergreen tall shade-loving shrub from South Africa with masses of vibrant purple cone-shaped flowers from late summer, peaking throughout autumn. The large green leaves and showy flowers will light up those difficult low light positions, ideal beneath tall trees and as a backdrop to smaller growing shade plants. A reliable and easy care plant to add height to a cottage border and extend flowering through to winter.
How to grow
Prefers part shade, protection from afternoon sun and free-draining soil with a cool root run. Tolerates dryness once established but will benefit from supplementary watering during growing period. Plant at the rear of a shady border or beneath tall trees to add colour. Keep mulched to retain moisture. Hard prune every couple of years to maintain shape and rejuvenate.
