Plectranthus coleoides Marginatus or Swedish ivy leaf with closed white edges #258885833
Description
Plectranthus forsteri ââ¬ÅMarginatusââ¬Â 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.
