Variegata' Variegated Swedish Ivy Plectranthus coleoides | Proven Winners®

Fresh green leaves edged in soft cream-white with scalloped, slightly fuzzy margins.

Variegated Swedish Ivy is a foliage plant grown for its trailing, patterned leaves, creating a bright, cascading effect in containers, hanging baskets, and mixed plantings.

What You'll Use It For

A clean, patterned spiller that softens and ties combinations together.

• Letting it trail from containers for a soft, cascading edge
• Brightening mixed plantings with green and cream contrast
• Pairing with bold flowers to balance and frame color
• Filling hanging baskets with a lighter, more relaxed texture
• Softening structured plantings with a more natural, flowing feel

Why Lazy Leaf Loves It

This is one of the easiest ways to clean up a container visually. The cream-edged leaves act like a frame, helping nearby plants stand out while still blending everything together.

It grows quickly, trails naturally, and is easy to shape if needed, making it beginner-friendly and forgiving. The lightly fragrant foliage and deer resistance are added bonuses, especially for outdoor containers and patio plantings.
