Yes Lindalooloo, it adds a fantastic splash of purple in the garden.
Meanie, it's a favourite of mine too. What a shame you can't get it over there. I have to say I haven't really seen it in overseas gardens much at all. If I wasn't so far away and our country wasn't go rigid about sending and receiving seeds and plant matter, I would send you some!

It is gorgeous :)

It is eye-catching, Scottish, when the flower spikes cover almost the entire plant.

I "found" some seeds in South Africa, but they were out of stock.
I'm going to have to ask the question at the botanic gardens Bernie. I have found a Plectranthus variety that is similar in my favourite nursery, but it isn't as good as Mona Lavender.

Hi Meanie, yes I thought there'd be a source in South Africa as that's where this hybrid began its life. It was at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Fingers crossed you'll find some seeds soon.
