Plectranthus argentea Silver Spurflower

Plectranthus argentea, also known as Silver Spurflower, is a versatile, low-maintenance perennial admired for its soft, silvery foliage and delicate purple or pale blue flowers. It thrives in warm, humid climates, making it an excellent choice for gardens in Sydney, Melbourne, and Brisbane. The plant prefers a position in part shade to full shade, ideal for adding texture to shaded garden beds or containers. It performs well in well-drained soil enriched with organic matter and is tolerant of coastal conditions.

In Brisbane's warmer climate, it thrives with minimal care, requiring only occasional watering during dry spells. In Sydney and Melbourne, it handles cooler winters but should be protected from heavy frosts. Prune lightly to maintain a compact shape and encourage new growth. Regular watering and mulching help retain soil moisture, while fertilizing in spring boosts health and appearance. Its silvery leaves offer year-round appeal in subtropical and temperate gardens.
