Plectranthus argentatus is a species of flowering evergreen sub-shrub in the mint family. It is native to rock outcrops and rainforest in the border region of Queensland and New South Wales, Australia.
Growing to 1 m tall and broad, it is a spreading deciduous shrub with densely hairy, silvery stems.
The velvety grey succulent leaves are ovate to broad-ovate, 5–11.5 cm long, 3–5.5 cm wide with crenate margins. The hairs on the leaves give the plant an overall sage green to a silvery colour.
The small tubular bluish-white flowers are borne in summer on terminal racemes up to 30 cm long.
