Cape Leadwort Seeds – Blue Plumbago Flowering Shrub – Plumbago auriculata Gardening Seeds
Add soft sky-blue flowers to your garden with Cape Leadwort (Plumbago auriculata), a beautiful flowering shrub known for its long bloom season and relaxed, arching growth habit. This ornamental plant is widely grown as a landscape shrub, groundcover, or container plant, and while it can be trained on a trellis, it is not a true vine.
Cape Leadwort thrives in sunny locations and warm climates, producing clusters of delicate blue flowers that attract butterflies and pollinators. In cooler regions, it performs well in containers and can be overwintered indoors.
Ideal for Mediterranean, tropical, and coastal-style gardens.
