How to grow Swedish Ivy

Plectranthus verticillatus

This plant is very showy in hanging baskets. It readily grows from cuttings and can be rooted in water. Very good as a house plant and outdoors too. I grow mine with other plants in containers and contrasts beautifully with plants that grow tall. It produces very small white flowers in a stem about 2 to 3 inches long.
