Plectranthus 'Magic Mona' Pink (PBR) | Mona Lavender Series

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.
