Plectranthus Coleoides Marginatus Or Swedish Ivy Leaf With Closed White Edges Royalty-Free Stock Photography

Plectranthus forsteri “Marginatus” is known by the popular name of Swedish ivy, because it was originally cultivated in Sweden as an indoor plant. It has the virtue of having a pendant, well-upright look, ideal to be grown in hanging planters where it can shine its branches with more than 1 meter in length, it can also be used as a ground cover, under trees or in other shady areas, where it spreads intensely. The leaves have a delicate down and the edges are white, which makes them stand out in shady areas, giving off a scent reminiscent of incense, a virtue that allows its use as an insect repellent. The tubular and small flowers are white or purplish, without much ornamental value.
