Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus verticillatus)

Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus verticillatus) is a fast-growing, cascading, evergreen trailing plant featuring glossy, rounded, scallop-edged green leaves on attractive trailing stems. Despite its name, it is not a true ivy and originates from Southern Africa. It occasionally produces delicate spikes of tubular white or pale purple flowers. It is incredibly vigorous and adaptable, making a lush, dense, weed-suppressing ground cover in shaded or partially shaded areas. It is also a classic, foolproof trailing plant for hanging baskets, window boxes, and indoor pots.
