Plectranthus 'Lemon Twist'

'Lemon Twist' mintleaf is worth growing for its citrusy pineapple scent and stunning foliage. That citrusy quality is mirrored in the lemon-lime coloration of its fragrant fuzzy leaves. White splotches add to the swirl and twists of color.

This tropical plant is best grown in containers, always protected from freezing temps. Our mother plant in the greenhouse explodes with growth in the summer. Cut back in winter.

Origin is hard to decipher. Plectranthus/coleus are taxonomically complicated.
