| Botanical Name | Plumbago auriculata 'Imperial Blue' |
| Description | A true Texas superstar that handles Houston's humidity and blistering sun with ease. While it is adaptable to many soil types, it prefers well-drained conditions. It can tolerate the local clay if it isn't constantly waterlogged; however, amending the soil with organic matter will help prevent chlorosis and encourage heavier blooming. |
| Exposure | Full Sun to Part Shade; best flowering occurs in Full Sun. |
| Height x Width | 3-4 ft. x 4-5 ft. |
| Water | Average; drought-tolerant once established but prefers regular watering during peak summer. |
| Zones | 8 - 11 (Perennial in Houston; may die back to the ground in a hard freeze and return in spring). |
| Fertilization | Balanced slow-release fertilizer in spring and mid-summer. |
| Pruning | Prune as needed to maintain shape; can be cut back severely in late winter. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
