Author Message   Goswimmin  My Weather My Garden Posted on Friday, September 01, 2006 - 12:07 pm EST :    I have had this Mona Lavender for several years. I take it in the house in the winter and cut it back and put it in a window. It takes it a little while to get it's flowers each year but when it does they are a knock out.

SusanQ - Zone 4b-5b Wisconsin   Polyanthus  My Weather My Garden My Time Posted on Sunday, September 03, 2006 - 12:34 pm EST :    Mary, thanks for posting this, I had them last year (Plecthranthus Mona Lavender) and found that I could pinch them back and poke them in the ground to make new plants. I didn't bring them in as you did but I noticed one or two came back (or seeded, not sure) anyway, they took so long and haven't bloomed yet, that I think I will dig up the plant and bring it in for winter, then pinch it back to make new plants for next year, it truly is a lovely plant.

One did take so long that I went ahead and purchased a new plant in bloom. Mary Goswimmin - Georgia, Zone "7b"
