Plectranthus caninus, commonly known as Dogsbane or Coleus caninus, is a fascinating herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the Lamiaceae family.

Growing/Leaves:

• Plectranthus caninus is a low growing, spreading succulent reaching only 30 cm in height and spreading over 1m.

• It has fleshy leaves with a musky aroma and will form a drought tolerant mat of light green pale lavender flowers on short spikes in late spring and early summer and is best planted in a rockery or terraced garden bed as a border or edging plant.

• The leaves are arranged oppositely along the stems and are typically a vibrant green color, often with hints of purple or bronze.

Key Features:

• Dogsbane thrives in well-draining soil with moderate fertility and prefers a location with full to partial sun exposure.

• Dogsbane produces small, tubular flowers that emerge from the leaf axils in clusters along the stems.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 100mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
