| Botanical Name | Plumbago auriculata |
| Description | An essential plant for Southeast Texas gardens, Blue Plumbago is prized for its prolific sky-blue blooms and sprawling habit. It is exceptionally heat and humidity tolerant. While it can adapt to many soil types, it requires good drainage; in heavy Houston clay, consider amending with organic matter or planting in raised beds to prevent root rot during wet winters. |
| Exposure | Full sun for best blooming; tolerates light shade. |
| Height x Width | 3-4 ft. Tall x 4-5 ft. Wide |
| Water | Moderate; drought tolerant once established, but regular watering during Houston's peak summer heat will keep it blooming vigorously. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 |
| Fertilization | Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Can be cut back hard in late winter to encourage fresh growth. Deadheading spent blooms will promote continuous flowering. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
