Plant Description:

- This species which is indigenous in South Africa was first collected by Dr. Carl Thunberg.
- The light blue colour is unique. There are very few flowers which are blue.
- Plants can grow as tall as 1 to 1.5 meters.
- Plants can be trimmed and kept short to under 30 cms.
- Frequent trimming is not recommended as it suppresses flowers. See the hedge in picture. If it is constantly trimmed - plants will not bloom well.

Growing tips:

- 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.
- Trim after the flower flush is over. This will initiate new grown and promote flowering.
