How to Achieve a Beautiful Plumbago

Hi! I am Becky

Plumbago, Plumbago Auriculata, Cape Plumbago, Sky Flower are just a few of the names this stunning perennial goes by.

Thanks for stopping by and learning about this beautiful blooming sprawling shrub. The Plumbago can be grown in zone 9-11 and there are between 10-20 different kind. This one is stated above! I love this one because of that blue-phlox color and a plus is it blooms all year long. It is a native to South Africa, that right there should tell you it is drought tolerant and loves hot, hot, hot, heat. You can find the Plumbago in the US growing year round in the southern parts of Texas and Florida. Plumbago does best in full sun to part shade in well drained soil diseases are rare, and an be very leggy. If you have this in zone 7-8 make sure it is in a pot and you cut it back in put in the garage to protect from frost & freeze. The plus with this shrub is it will attract
butterflies and hummingbirds.
