Plant Description:

The white colour is unique. Plants look spectacular in bloom especially at night. Plants can grow as tall as 1 to 1.5 meters. Plants can be trimmed and kept short to under 30 cms. Regular trimming is not recommended as it suppresses flowers.

Growing tips:

- White plumbago is a very useful dwarf flowering shrub grown in tropical, subtropical regions.
- Plumbago is very susceptible to waterlogging and should be planted on raised beds and porous soil, in full sun.
- In high rainfall areas cut back plants to near ground level as soon as the monsoon sets in. This will prevent the plants from rotting.
- The white is slighly more delicate. It does not like alkaline soils.
