Laura, I think you are right.
First of all I did not spell it correctly and of course I was not getting
the plant up on the internet sites. I see there are some very lovely
Plectranthus and I can see why you have lot of them. I am not particularly
fond of variegated leaf plants...this one is not something that I would have
not bought myself but I have planted it (in sun). The perfume is definitely
not my cup of tea ...too astringent.
Pam
You confirm my suspicion that what you have is a Plectranthus, but may I
make one suggestion? Your plant would be a lot happier in a partly shaded
site where it can expect some regular moisture in the soil. Plectranthus of
varous species are common in East Africa where I remember them, but always
in bush areas where they never dry out.
