Comments: Plectranthus coleoides Variegata or White-edged Swedish
Ivy is an elegant
perennial with a trailing habit. I love this interesting running
vine not only for its attractive color comibnation but it propagates easily by stem cuttings and is very easy to grow.
Plectranthus coleoides Variegata can reach up to 3' in height and be
used as a lovely groundcover, in window boxes, hanging basket, perennial
borders or as aa attractive houseplant. Protect plant from frost.
