A tough, shrub that hails from South Africa, Dark Blue Plumbago has an arching, sprawling form that can be trained as a vine or left to grow as a mound. Growing 4-8’ tall and 8-10’ wide, this Plumbago produces clusters of medium-blue flowers from summer into fall. For best results, plant in full sun to light shade and provide regular water. One note: Plumbago auriculata Dark Blue is frost tender and can die back if faced with freezes. But it sprouts again in the spring, like a Phoenix rising. A quick grower that is pest free, Dark Blue Plumbago is a reliable shrub for a variety of landscapes.
