Cape Leadwort (Plumbago auriculata) Climber

The Plumbago or Blue Plumbago (Plumbago auriculata) is a sturdy, evergreen, medium-sized plant with light green leaves and flowers in an inflorescence of unusual light blue color, hence the name "Blue Plumbago". It has a long flowering period, which begins in summer and lasts until autumn. It is an easy-to-grow plant that thrives in sunny places and in areas with mild climates, while wanting protection from very strong frosts. Plumbago can be planted in the garden, where it is used on fences alone or with other climbers together, quickly covering the climbing surfaces, or even in pots.

► It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large shrubs are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
