Plectranthus argentea (Silver Spurflower) is a captivating perennial plant, known for its silvery-green, velvety foliage that adds a soft and elegant touch to any garden. The leaves have a unique shimmering texture that beautifully reflects sunlight, making this plant a standout in shaded or semi-shaded areas. In warmer months, small clusters of lavender or pale purple flowers appear, creating a subtle contrast against the silvery foliage.
This low-maintenance plant is ideal for use as a groundcover, in mixed garden beds, or as a feature in pots and containers. Plectranthus argentea thrives in shaded conditions and is drought-tolerant once established, making it a perfect choice for Australian gardens looking to add texture and brightness.
