Purple Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus purpuratus)

Purple Swedish Ivy is a striking ornamental houseplant prized for its deep purple foliage and delicate lavender flowers. This trailing variety thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers consistently moist soil with excellent drainage. Native to South Africa, it adapts well to indoor environments and makes an excellent choice for hanging baskets or shelving displays. The plant's cascading growth habit and vibrant coloration add visual interest to any space. Relatively low-maintenance, it benefits from occasional pinching to encourage bushier growth and regular feeding during the growing season for optimal leaf colour development.
