Plumbago

Plumbago is a beautiful, sprawling flowering shrub known for its masses of sky-blue blooms that appear continuously from spring through fall. With its soft, mounding habit and light green foliage, Plumbago adds a lush, airy feel to gardens, patios, and containers. It thrives in full sun and warm temperatures, making it ideal for tropical and southern landscapes. Highly attractive to butterflies and low-maintenance once established, Plumbago is perfect for use as a ground cover, border plant, or cascading container accent.
