Plectranthus verticillatus, commonly known as Swedish ivy, is a trailing perennial prized for its lush, glossy green foliage and cascading growth habit. Its small, subtle lavender or violet flowers appear intermittently, but the plant is primarily grown for its attractive foliage. Swedish ivy performs well in containers, hanging baskets, or as a groundcover in shaded to partially shaded areas.

Care Needs:
• Light: Partial sun to full shade
• Water: Keep soil evenly moist; allow top inch to dry between waterings
• Pruning: Trim back occasionally to maintain shape and encourage fuller growth
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season for healthy foliage
