Plumbago auriculata is an evergreen shrub that produces baby blue flower clusters throughout the year. The bloom is slightly fragrant. Plumbago has a sprawling growth habit that creates a beautiful mounding effect that can be maintained at 3’ – 6’ tall.
Plant your plumbago in at least 5 hours of direct sun and use a well-draining soil. Water when soil is dry to the touch. Once fully established, plumbago can be drought tolerant. To keep your plant happy, you should feed once a month with 6-8-10 Sure-Gro fertilizer. Plumbago is native to South Africa and is a Florida Friendly plant according to UF/IAS assessment and is a low on the invasive risk scale.
Fun Fact!
Plumbago blooms attract butterflies and are the host plant for the Cassius Blue butterfly. This butterfly is small and has light blue wings that blend in well with the plumbago’s blue flower. Cassius butterflies fly very fast and are sometimes hard to see, especially when they’re next to plumbago! This variety of plumbago is also one of the few natural blue flowers. Blue is by far the rarest flower color and is unique to find.
