Plectranthus Troy Gold is a remarkable plant for its bright and decorative foliage. Its ground cover or slightly trailing appearance, with a bushy and dense habit, adapts equally well to pots and hanging baskets. The leaves, rounded to oval, are thick, slightly crenate, and velvety to the touch. Their distinctive feature lies in their color: a bright golden yellow often shaded with soft green towards the center. This two-tone effect provides plenty of brightness and contrast. Direct sunlight can burn its delicate foliage. It is best to expose it to good indirect light to maintain its vivid color.
