    I used this in my baskets this year and i was so pleased with the results, it hangs over the sides of the baskets and down 2ft it looks really nice i think
    [​IMG]I am going to try and over winter it as it is not fully hardy,I did though save some seed from the tiny flowers if i lose it

    They will take a light frost Pam but I expect you will want to take it in before then.
    You could still take cuttings even now, they will root in water.
    There are dozens of varieties of Plectranthus which were once only considered a a house plant but are now popular patio/basket plants.

    I have one called Lime Light which is almost yellow and grow dozens of the silver one which gets to 2ft height and spread.
