I went to a talk by Ernst van Jaarsvelt ( Kirstenbosch B G ) on Plectranthus which was fascinating, im sure this plant was mentioned, dont know if seed would be available from there, if I can get his e mail address i will PM you.

It's a beautiful plant. Hope you eventually get you hands on one :)

That would be good Plantaholic.
My photo doesn't do it justice Scottish.
My hands twitch every time that I see it - it grows easily from cuttings apparently.......

I'll have to see if I can get you seeds. This plant is extremely common and available for sale at every nursery here in San Diego.
There's large shrubs growing all around Balboa Park...I'll have to see if the seeds are developing or ripening.

I can get other Plectranthus, but they lack the dark stems and dark edge to the leaves that makes this one so very nice!

I was in Balboa Park today. I didn't see seeds on any of the shrubs, yet.
