The Magic Mona Pink is a dazzling new addition to the beloved Mona Lavender range, bred in South Africa and protected under Plant Breeders’ Rights (PBR). It is admired for its upright spikes of soft pink flowers that appear in autumn (March-May) and again in spring (September-November), lighting up shady corners when many other plants are quiet. Its lush, glossy green foliage with purple undersides adds year‑round interest, while the blooms attract bees and butterflies, making it both ornamental and wildlife‑friendly. Perfect for containers, borders, shady beds, and indoor décor, this compact perennial thrives in semi‑shade to light shade, bringing colour and vibrancy where few plants succeed. A truly enchanting plant that combines South African breeding excellence with effortless beauty, the Magic Mona Pink is a must‑have for collectors and gardeners alike.
Plant in semi‑shade to light shade in fertile, well‑drained soil. Water moderately. It's is water‑wise once established but appreciates regular moisture during flowering. Feed lightly with a balanced fertilizer in spring and autumn to encourage blooms. Pinch back stems after flowering to maintain a neat, bushy shape. Protect from heavy frost, though it tolerates Cape Town’s mild winters well.
The Mona Lavender series, including Magic Mona Pink, was developed by South African breeders and has gained international acclaim for bringing vibrant colour to shady gardens. Unlike many shade plants, it flowers generously twice a year, making it a global ambassador of Cape horticultural innovation.
