Variegated Swedish Ivy Plant | Plectranthus coleoides 'Variegata' | 3 Rooted Cuttings 4"

Variegated Swedish Ivy (Plectranthus coleoides 'Variegata') is a charming trailing plant prized for its fragrant, variegated foliage. The soft green leaves are edged with creamy white, creating a lush, cascading effect that brightens any space.

Its trailing habit makes it perfect for hanging baskets, containers, or as a groundcover in warm climates. The plant also produces small, inconspicuous flowers that add subtle interest.

This listing offers three rooted cuttings, each approximately 4 inches tall, ready to be potted and enjoyed. Swedish Ivy is easy to grow and fast to establish, making it a rewarding choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners. The aromatic leaves release a pleasant scent when brushed or crushed, adding sensory appeal to your indoor garden or patio.

These cuttings will quickly establish and begin to trail. For best growth, provide occasional feeding with a balanced liquid fertilizer during the growing season. Pinch back tips to encourage bushier growth.
