Plectranthus forsteri 'Marginatus' - Variegated Swedish Ivy
A cascading charmer with lush mint-scented leaves neatly edged in creamy white. Whether it’s tumbling from a hanging basket, trailing over the edge of a pot, or weaving through a mixed planting, this plant brings instant freshness and fun.
It’s the kind of plant that thrives on a bit of neglect, forgives the odd missed watering, and still manages to look fabulous. With its velvety foliage and relaxed trailing habit, it’s perfect for softening hard edges or filling gaps. Pair it with bold flowering companions for contrast, or let it spill and sprawl where it pleases.
