A type of Plectranthus, exact species currently unknown. It smells wonderful, though. It has a strong pleasant scent when the leaves are crushed, but no discernible aroma from the little lavender speckled flowers.

A simple color palette, but far from simple shapes. A great banner. I'd love to have more contributors share their experiences with the fragrances of the plants displayed. I plead guilty to not paying enough attention to that myself.

Sometimes just within leaves alone there is a bouquet presence. These leaves compose just that beautifully. Excellent banner.

Lovely! Looks like a good ground cover…is it very invasive?

I'm wondering the same thing, if it's a ground cover? It's very nice looking and makes a beautiful banner!

It makes a great ground cover and it is nontoxic. I don't know how invasive it is as I currently only have it growing in a hanging planter. We have almost not suitable shady spots in the yard. Just about everything planted here have to be good with full sun. I have yet to find a spot where my crotons will survive, much less thrive. This little guy has almost no chance.

Thank you everyone for the comments! Thank You! Hurray!
