Plectranthus verticillatus (syn. Plectranthus nummularius [2]), Swedish ivy, Swedish begonia or whorled plectranthus [3] is a plant in the family Lamiaceae (Labiatae), genus Plectranthus. Despite its common name, it is not close to the ivy family of the genus Hedera .
The plant is cultivated in landscaping for its ivy-like leaves and scented flowers in bright light or light shade away from abundant sunlight. Propagation is done by cuttings as its stems root readily both in water and soil, without the need for a rooting hormone. Pruning is encouraged for a bushy and compact growth. [22]
Cymbalaria muralis, commonly called ivy-leaved toadflax, [3] is a low, spreading, trailing plant with small purple flowers, native to rocky habitats in southern Europe. It belongs to the plantain family ( Plantaginaceae ), and is introduced and naturalised in many other temperate locations.
