Description
Blue plumbago is a fast-growing, sprawling evergreen shrub prized for its prolific, sky-blue flower clusters. Its weak, scrambling branches gracefully arch outward to form a lush, mounding shape. These branches can also be easily trained onto a trellis or wall to climb like a vine. Highly heat and drought tolerant once established, it serves as an excellent low-maintenance choice for hedges, borders, or container planting.
