Plectranthus
argentatus: Silver Spurflower |
| The
Plectranthus argentatus blooms
are nice but really are not the main attraction. The large velvety gray succulent leaves make
the show for me. Silver Spurflower gets to 3 feet tall by 6' across. It really prefers some
shade and can even take dark shade. Not too much water is required. I use
Plectranthus argentatus under oaks because of its water thrifty ways.
Plectranthus argentatus brings a great light to dark
spaces. Frost will damage the Silver Spurflower foliage at around 25 but it has come back from sub 20
here. It looked like nothing would happen for a long time before
finally showing signs of growth in April.
