They are easy to cross breed and this means there are now a beautiful array of types to choose from. ‘Cola Bottles' has large leaves with the distinctive scent of the drink and gorgeous mauve flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePlant care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeight: 60-100cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: tender\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAspect: Sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil: Any\/alkaline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlower colour: Mauve\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlowering period: June – September\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese beautiful plants are relatively easy to look after and don't require lots of attention. They love to be in full sun, are reasonably drought tolerant and are better grown in a pot so they can be moved to a more sheltered position in winter as they aren't fully hardy. An unheated greenhouse or a porch is usually sufficient protection unless it is very cold or you live in a very cold area of the UK. The good news is that they make very good house plants and don't like to be over watered - good for those of us that are a bit sporadic in our watering of indoor plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScent from the leaves can be extracted by layering a few in a jar with castor sugar and sealing for a week – this sugar can then be used to make delicious cakes and biscuits.
