Try any garden center or superstores that you usually patronize in KL, you may be able to get them there as plants are delivered on seasonal basis when available. In fact, I've even seen some potted Plectranthus on sale at Tesco Extra Cheras, Jalan Midah, KL on Tuesday, just a few days ago. Best to get these plants in KL as those from Cameron Highlands do not normally thrive well as they need to acclimatize to our lowland heat. Hi Adrian.

So happy to hear that I can bring it indoors and it will survive the winter. Any hints to help keep it healthy during the indoor months? I live in upstate N.Y. and it's a long winter! Other plants have just dropped their leaves and given up when I try to keep them inside for the winter. I just bought a beautiful hanging basket of Mona Lavender.

Like many others, I had never seen or heard of it before, but I could tell by the look, feel and smell that it was a type of mint. I fell instantly in love, and bought two ENORMOUS hanging baskets, very inexpensive. I was so happy to see they grow and bloom indoors, because winter is coming :) I'm in Connecticut, zone 6, planning to relocate ASAP to south Florida. I hope I can bring these with me and propagate them. I'm already imagining my new beautiful gardens. I picked up two of these yesterday.

It looks so beautiful this summer. It hasn't started to bloom yet this year but I am looking forward to it's beautiful purple flowers. I was glad to learn that I could take a cutting and it would root. I plan to start about 4 or 5 more for different areas of my yard.

It have bloomed beautifully with all the purple flowers throughout Fall. I bring a few plants inside in the cold weather. They grow easily outside after frost date, in containers. Get lots of praises about the purple leaves and spikes of purple flowers. I have planted Mona Lavender in semi-shade sites along the driveway & on a corner lot.

I live in northern NJ, USA. and this is the first time I ever wrote in someone's whatever this is called! I bought a hanging Mona yesterday, never having seen one or heard of them before, and I searched and found your excellent article! I'd love to know where the other chatters live! I'm in zone 5 or 6, so I'll try to overwinter mine indoors. Please reply! Again, where are you?? Lois HI! Where do you live?

I'm just wondering when they start to bloom. I always have the Variegata plectranthus which looks like swedish Ivy but I don't think it will flower.
