Plectranthus is a genus of annuals, perennials and shrubs, nearly all of which are native to the Southern Hemisphere, including sub-Saharan Africa, India, Madagascar and Australia. Given these warm origins, most Plectranthus are frost-tender, so can be moved outdoors in the warmer months but will require winter protection. Some Plectranthus make good houseplants.
