Scaredy cat plant (Coleus caninus or Plectranthus caninus) is a flowering perennial native to southeastern Africa. A member of the mint family, it emits a strong dank funky skunky weed odor that is thought to repel cats, dogs, and other animals. It also keeps the bugs away.

It smells like dank funky weed. It is an attractive garden plant with thick green leaves and unusually dark violet-blue flower spikes that blossom in late spring through summer. In temperate climates, this fast-growing perennial is often grown as an annual. The flowers attract butterflies and bees.
