As a short-day plant, this Plectranthus flowers in early Fall.  Deadhead spent flowers to extend the bloom.  Grows best in a protected shady spot or can be grown as a house plant if kept out of direct sun but in bright sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePlant Type: \u003c\/strong\u003eEvergreen Perennial Shrub\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSize: \u003c\/strong\u003e1’- 2' tall and wide\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLight: \u003c\/strong\u003ePartial sun \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSoil\u003c\/strong\u003e: Rich, well-draining soil a bit on the acidic side\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWater: \u003c\/strong\u003eMedium water\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBloom Color and Season: \u003c\/strong\u003e10” long purple flower spikes, lovely Fall bloomer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOther Notes: \u003c\/strong\u003eHardiness 30° F; fertilize once every 2-3 months during growing season; deadhead to extend bloom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eUses: \u003c\/strong\u003eBee, Butterfly and Hummingbird gardens, backdrop on garden edge, under trees and taller shrubs\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"UC Master Gardeners of Monterey Bay Plant Sales","offers":[{"title":"Gallon","offer_id":48290250031421,"sku":"","price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0382\/9058\/7693\/products\/Plectranthusecklonii_02.jpg?v=1665549336","url":"https:\/\/uc-master-gardeners-of-monterey-bay-plant-sales.myshopify.com\/products\/plectranthus-ecklonii","provider":"UC Master Gardeners of Monterey Bay","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
