Before an unusually brutal winter wiped out most of my paradise, my blue plumbago stood out like a shining gem. It was started from a cutting from my mother-in-law's garden, like most of my other plants. The cutting grew into a beautiful bush that always had butterflies hovering around it.
When we get our paradise beautiful and thriving again, the blue plumbago for sure will be prominent in the garden again.
I highly recommend this beautiful bush for your landscape.
