This easy to grow Coleus Canina keeps cats, dogs, rabbits and foxes away from your garden, also known as the ?Scaredy Cat? Plant. It produces an odour that cats in particular find offensive. It will be at its most effective when planted in a sunny spot, because the odour gets stronger the hotter leaves become ? fortunately the odour is barely obvious to humans! Coleus Caninai is easy to grow and will thrive on neglect as it is a naturally drought tolerant plant. It even produces attractive blue flowers during the summer months and early autumn. Height: 45cm (18).
