Plumbago

Plumbago, a low-maintenance shrub, boasting vibrant blue flowers from spring to fall. While it may require protection in severe winters in the Florida Panhandle, it typically regenerates in early spring. Whether as a focal point or in clusters, Plumbago adds brightness to any outdoor setting. Although Plumbago auriculata isn’t native, it’s considered Florida-Friendly. The white variety (alba) is widely available in Florida nurseries, and discovering the native white species, Plumbago zeylanica, is a fortunate find for pollinator gardens, as it hosts Cassius Blue Butterfly larvae. Regardless of the type, incorporating Plumbago into your landscape is always a wise decision.
