Plectranthus zuluensis, the Zulu spurflower, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to southern Africa. A tender perennial, it produces spikes of pale blue or mauve flowers against lime green foliage in spring.[1]
In temperate climates it needs to be grown under glass, or protected from winter frosts if kept outside. It is suitable as a houseplant or conservatory plant.[2]
