Description

Royal Cape Plumbago is a vibrant selection known for its richer, deeper cobalt-blue flowers. It offers the same incredible flowering performance and versatile habit as the species but with a more intense color saturation. The striking blue clusters create a bold visual impact against the light green foliage, making it an outstanding choice for adding a punch of color to sunny borders, training on a bright trellis, or using as a colorful, informal hedge. It is a reliable workhorse for warm-climate gardens.
