Ajuga reptans 'Purple Torch'
Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade.
Initially we had two pots in our courtyard for 4 - 8 days, it started to wilt. So we had some to replaced the wilting coleus, as a hedge along the length of the wall.
This lucky pot however was replanted into a bigger shallow pot with stand and doing better than the hedge. These "Purples" are sun lovers - confirmed !!
Luv 'em.
Update Jun 4,'09: It is actually Plectranthus ‘Mona Lavender’ (sometimes known as Lavender Spur Flower or Mona Lavender) bloom colour-mix of lavender, white and purple - like mini-orchid. ‘Mona Lavender’ is not tolerant of very cold conditions and wilts when excessive watering especially long periods of heavy downpour. We planted 5 on ground and 1 in a pot. Potted survived 2 months longer than grounded ones. All gave up during the rainy season from Nov til Feb.
