We picked up this Plectranthus at Western Hills Nursery, and am not sure if it differs from a form known as 'Troy's Gold', or not. Still it was a favorite of Maggie's, so of course we had to try it. It has golden leaves occasionally flushed with green and pronounced burgundy markings. It definitely prefers more shade.
