- Plectranthus neochilus (Lobster Flower) is a perennial ground cover with highly fragrant, partially scalloped, ovate leaves.
- Flowers are purple blue inflorescent spikes. Overall the plant almost resembles a succulent lavender bush, with oversized flowers.It flowers like crasy in Spring thru Fall, creating a soft haze of long-lasting attractive purpley-blue 3” spikelets loved by bees. Grows quickly to 12” tall and 3’ wide.
- It’s a smart choice for carefree edging in sun or shade and dry difficult spots. Fills the air with a heady ganja scent when watered. Be sure to give it decent drainage and compost regularly. Protect under 32°.
- All of the plants will be shipped bare root.
LIGHT/SOIL/WATER
- Full sun but Light shade in the hottest months of summer. Full shade is not recommended to prevent etiolation and rot.
- Porous and well-drained potting mix. Avoid keeping the soil wet, especially in winter.
- Water thoroughly only when soil is dry to the touch, then let drain completely. Aloinopsis malherbei goes dormant in the summer so do not overwater during this period.
- Feed once with a balanced fertilizer diluted to 50% of the recommended strendth during the growing season (fall and spring).
