I have
just been given a plant without any tags or names. I have looked in the
RHS Encylopedia of Plants and found it looks like a 'plecanthus'. I think,
I have seen it before but this one is variegated ( yellow and green with a touch
of pink on the edges of the leaves which are quite 'woolly' soft/hard. The
all encompassing feature is the very strong and not entirely pleasant smell (to
me!) when you touch the leaves. Heidi Gildermeister mentions it (no
photos ) but I cannot find anything on the internet sites If it is
Plecanthus ...I presume it does suit a dry garden. Any other
information would be appreciated?
