Plectranthus Lion Pink

Featuring soft, velvety foliage and masses of delicate blooms, Plectranthus Lion Pink brings gentle colour and texture to shaded gardens. Its upright stems carry whorls of soft pink flowers that create a luminous display through the cooler months, providing welcome brightness when much of the garden is resting. The lush dark green foliage forms a dense, tidy mound, making it as attractive out of flower as it is in full bloom.

Ideal for shaded borders, woodland-style plantings, underplanting beneath trees, or spilling gracefully from pots and hanging baskets, Plectranthus is a versatile perennial that adds softness and movement wherever it is planted. It pairs beautifully with ferns, hostas, and other shade-loving plants, creating a layered, textural effect.

Plectranthus thrives in part shade to full shade in well-drained, humus-rich soil. While it prefers protection from harsh afternoon sun and heavy frost, it is otherwise wonderfully low maintenance. Water regularly during dry periods, particularly when grown in containers, but avoid waterlogged conditions. A light prune after flowering will help maintain a compact shape and encourage fresh new growth. In cooler climates, apply mulch around the base to protect roots through winter.

With its long flowering season, adaptability, and easy-care nature, Plectranthus is a reliable and charming choice for gardeners seeking soft, seasonal colour with minimal effort.
