Plectranthus hereroensis Seeds

Plectranthus is the largest South African genus in the mint family (Lamiaceae), with 44 species natural to South Africa, most of which occur on the eastern side of the country. Some species are narrowly endemic occurring only in a very limited area, while others are widespread and very variable and consequently difficult to distinguish. Among the South African members of the genus we have some of the showiest garden plants providing a mass display of colour in late summer and autumn. Colour selections range between pink, purple and white and many shades in-between. Plectranthus are noted for tr aromatic leaves when crushed or even brushed against, and the variety of aromas is as diverse as the genus itself.

Plectranthus hereroensis previously known as Neomuellera damarensis, Plectranthus aurifer, Plectranthus myrianthus and Plectranthus otaviensis. South African indigenous species distributed through the Gauteng, KwaZulu-Natal, Limpopo and North West Provinces. It makes a beautiful shrub up to 100-150cm tall with lovely dark blue flowers in late summer.
