Plectranthus ciliatus
Drege is far sturdier than it looks or its tropical African heritage would
indicate. This Spur Flower is low and spreading, typically
18-24" tall and spreading as far as there is water.
Plectranthus ciliatus Drege will spread by air layering when the branches
touch the ground if there is moisture available, but is quite drought
tolerant once established. Plectranthus
ciliatus Drege grows best in the shade but will tolerate a partial day of
sun near the coast. Plectranthus ciliatus Drege produces
pale pink flowers in the late Spring into Summer, I think these detract
from the foliage and cut them off when they appear. Plectranthus
ciliatus Drege is Winter hardy to the mid 20's.
