53513 PIPER BETEL [HORT] PIP HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.00 This has been ordered heavily this year, so this is a "Propagate-To-Order" item at this time. It may take a couple months to get a new crop ready.

If you are doing specifically an urn, only baskets, etc. let us know so that we can send the appropriate upright, cascading, or shrubby selection of these easy showy plants.

55572 PLECTRANTHUS AMBOINICUS LAB CGH HP PRICE: $ 4.75 Called "Cuban Oregano" or "indian Borage" for culinary uses in Mexico & West indies, although from SE Asia where its handsome foliage is used for bronchitis, asthma, headaches, burns, & scorpion sting; the leaves are used in tea, or to scent your laundry.

New aromatic shoots in tropical culinary use, as "Cuban Oregano"--Astounding as a hanging basket subject; splendid cascading from urns and windowboxes.

55657 PLECTRANTHUS (COLEUS) CANINUS LAB TGH HP PRICE: $ 4.00 Odoriferous succulent leaves, slightly viscous, on tumbling thick stems; attractive curosity--but when leaves are crushed, beware the "Eau de Firehydrant" fragrance. We received this some years ago from Sydney Botanic Gardens via California's Quail Botanical Garden and are amused that this rather modest plant is now being aggressively marketed as the "Piss Off" or "Scaredy Cat" plant reputed to keep cats (and even dogs) at bay. This does not work well here in our observations, but then, none of our cats seems particularly daunted by the canine tribe. Could be that the staff cats consider themselves to be too feline to be daunted by a canine?

42241 PLECTRANTHUS DISCOLOR GREEN & GOLD LAB HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.00 The pairs of bright lime yellow succulent leaves (with the random velvet green midrib or slash) most dramatic against the hairy maroon cascading stems; makes a dramatic hanging basket subject--a third of the stature of its cousin, P. amboinicus.

41113 PLECTRANTHUS FOSTERI GREEN ON GREEN LAB CGH PRICE: $ 4.50 Soft lime margins on furry sea green rippled leaves; handsome erect bush flourishing in cool greenhouse, or astounding all viewers when grown as a bedding specimen plant outdoors; one of the most quickly grown of all standards: stake the stalk to the desired height then repeatedly pinch to create a terminal poodle or globe shape.

41111 PLECTRANTHUS FOSTERI MARGINATUS LAB HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.50 "Giant Candle Plant" Erect square stems hold wide scalloped leaves richly margined white. Very showy specimen will light up a display urn or windowbox, a tropical bed or island, a group of standards, or a sunny windowsill. Nurseries offer this in an array of creative names, but we maintain the botanically recognized name established by the Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens--after all it is their native.

41657 PLECTRANTHUS GRANDIDENTATUS LAB CGH HP PRICE: $ 3.50 Ernst van Jaarsveld at Kirstenbosch B.G. sent us this very dramatically cascading species with thick prostrate stems hidden by showy wide succulent scalloped leaves with furry haired surfaces; perfect for hanging baskets.

51905 PLECTRANTHUS HADIENSIS TOMENTOSUS CARNEGIE LAM TGH HP PRICE: $ 4.75 Attractive rounded cascade of succulent scalloped mint green leaves, fragrant when crushed, perfect beneath the sprays of late fall white blossoms. A new treasure from Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. We hope the name is sufficiently elaborate.

41107 PLECTRANTHUS MADAGASCARIENSIS MARGINATUS LAB CGH PRICE: $ 3.00 "Variegated Mint Leaf" A confusingly identified form sold in the mid-west as "Basket Iboza" with fast-spreading, cascading soft stems covered with white-margined minty, serrate leaves. Formerly offered under the then correct name of P. coleoides marginatus minimus (which is quite similar, but upright in habit). Hard to keep up with the Mint tribe nomenclature.

41711 PLECTRANTHUS MENTHOL EUCALYPTUS [SPECIES] LAB PRICE: $ 3.75 Short woody stems are completely covered by mounds of thick succulent tiny "scalloped pillow" leaves with hirsuit surface-- giving off very pungent fragrance when brushed. Popular. Probably a form of the Kenyan Plectranthus coeruleus.

41128 PLECTRANTHUS MONA LAVENDER LAB CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 Widely branching purpled stems with glossy wide rippled leaves toned violet provide a perfect background for the many thick spikes of garnet magenta blossoms freely produced late fall. Beautiful all year. Shamelessly trendy.

41123 PLECTRANTHUS OERTENDAHLII UVONGO LAB HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.00 A Kirstenbosch collection of traditional "Prostrate Coleus" with very bright ash-silver surface patterns. Beautiful selection of "Swedish Mosaic Ivy." Very popular.

41124 PLECTRANTHUS PROSTRATUS LAB HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 "Pillow Plant" or "Succulent Swedish Ivy" Profusions of tiny thick crenulate leaves form a lime-green mat--lines of purple form on leaf edges if in bright light; white flowers toned violet.

Always a good choice for a prostrate carpet of fat foliage at the base of a succulent bonsai specimen.

41125 PLECTRANTHUS PURPUREUS LAB HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.25 Another "Succulent Swedish Ivy" Profusions of tiny thick velvety leaves form a lime-green mat--lines of purple form on leaf edges if in bright light; seasonally produces a beautiful carpet of lovely small leaves topped late summer with a miriad of small spikes of white flowers toned violet.

41127 PLECTRANTHUS SACCATUS CERNEZAN 'N' LIME LAB CGH HP PRICE: $ 4.50 Handsome wide cushion with stout stems arising from a central woody base with many rounded succulent leaves. Seems to be newly re-marketed as 'Cernezan'. The species P. saccatus was originally shared by Kirstenbosch Botanic Gardens many years ago--we see no difference in leaf or flower with this "cultivar."

41658 PLECTRANTHUS TURPENTINE [MARRUBIOIDES?] LAB CGH HP PRICE: $5.00 Pine scented scalloped furry succulent leaves on thickly furred cascading stems--these stems start out upright but eventually arch under the weight of the fat foliage. Very potent "fragrance."

51907 PLECTRANTHUS VENTERI SNOWFLAKE LAM TGH HP PRICE: $ 5.25 Distinctive deeply lobed pelted leaves on self branching stout stems; the purplish mauve blossoms usually appear in late fall. Our selection of this wooly aromatic foliaged charmer produces elaborately cut "Snowflake" leaves. Fantastic in a clay pot on your sunny summer deck; easy in your winter windowsill. Perfect where you need a tough as nails plant which gives an appearance of lacy delicacy.

41130 PLECTRANTHUS VERTICILLATUS (AUSTRALIS) LAB TGH HP PRICE: $ 3.75 Formerly P. nummularius and P. australis.. The ever popular "Swedish Ivy" vine with waxy crennate leaves in pairs on strong cascading stems eventually tipped with racemes of white flowers--technically the clusters of flowers are in verticillasters a half inch around. This is an old so-called "Victorian Favorite." It is often seen in some areas of the country as a patio hanging basket plant. It works well in the home also.

41131 PLECTRANTHUS VERTICILLATUS VARIEGATUS LAB TGH HP PRICE: $ 5.50 Formerly P. nummularius and P. australis.. The ever popular "Marbled Swedish Ivy" vine with waxy crennate leaves in pairs on strong cascading stems eventually tipped with racemes of white flowers--technically the clusters of flowers are in verticillasters a half inch around. While this basic has fabulous white variegated sections, its hobby is to revert so you will need to be sure to trim reversions from this as it grows so that you maintain just the best variegation.

54453 PLECTRANTHUS ZULUENSIS LAB HP CGH PRICE: $ 4.50 From widening nearly "caudex" woody bases arise purpled stems with richly textured leaves & spikes of violet flowers late fall and early winter. Our customers find this much easier to grow than the similar but quite frail P. hilliardiae.

40824 PLUMBAGO AURICULATA CULTIVAR PLU TGH HP PRICE: $ 6.50 "Cape Leadwort" Woody meandering vine with marvelous phlox-like heads of sky-blue flowers.

This "Bamboo Grass" is now listed in Poaceae.

49479 POGONATHERUM PANICEUM GRA HP TGH PRICE: $ 8.50 A charming short statured "Bamboo Mimic" for tropical situations: the very tightly clumping short stems arch out elegantly under the weight of richly green overlapping leaf blades--blades which are considerably wider and more dramatic than P. crinitum--but which also thrives when grown sitting in a saucer of water, but NOT submerged. Typically we send mossed divisions of this.

10900 POLYPODIUM AUREUM BLUE STAR POLYP HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.50 "Blue Star Bears' Paw" Broad loose and just modestly lobed erect fronds from white toned rhizomes. This is not the wild form seen in trees in the south and it is not the ruffled "Mandianum" type! This "Blue Star" is a selected form of the species with strongly upright frond growth habit and good glacous blue color when grown in intense light.

10901 POLYPODIUM (PHLEBODIUM) AUREUM AREOLATUM POLYP HP TGH PRICE: $ 7.50 "Blue Bears' Paw" Broad rigidly erect fronds and rhizomes thick and pale. The rhizome is less hairy than the species form.

11604 POLYPODIUM DIVERSIFOLIUM POLYPOD HP CGH PRICE: $ 7.50 Available from time to time. Check on availability. This footed fern sported dark glossy fronds and green foot with brown hairs. Rather interesting plant in the "Bear's Paw" fern group. Sometimes the common name of this plant is "Kangaroo Paw."
