Variegated form: The variegated form of Plectranthus forsteri, which has the cultivar name of 'Marginatus' ('Variegatus') is a bushy variant with leaves nicely margined with cream. this variegated variety is the one normally grown. It has spires of pale mauve or white flowers in autumn.
Remarks: This plant should not be confused with genuine Plectranthus coleoides Bentham, a different specie native to India that is not generally cultivated.
