Landscape Uses
Plumbago can be pruned into a compact mounded shrub, or left to sprawl with its long, gracefully arching branches.  Plumbago blooms all year long except for the coldest winter months.  It is very fast-growing and has few problems.  This plant is popular with butterflies.

Propagation
Cuttings

Special Notes
Plumbago produces its flowers on the current season's growth, so you can prune in late winter and not worry about cutting off flower buds.

Fun Facts
The Latin name is derived from plumbum meaning lead.  One assumption for the name is the possible historical use of this plant for treating lead poisoning.
