COMMON:
Leadwort, Plumbago.
August
- Cobalt blue
COMMENTS:
A vividly colorful plant, often sold as a sun
lover, but prospers better in bright shade. It is
long in bloom and provides a dense groundcover with
trailing, wiry, glossy stems and bright green
leaves. The 3/4 inch flowers which bloom on reddish
stalks, often continue flowering even when the
foliage takes on a bronze cast by late September.
Provide a consistently moist, well-drained, humusy
soil and plant in groups of 3 for the best effect.
When established, spreads quickly and indefinitely
via rhizomatous roots.
