An excellent deciduous ground cover, the medium textured oval shaped, metallic glossy-green leaves of plumbago are borne upon trailing, zig-zag, wiry stems. Rich and classy looking, plumbago is far more than just a foliage plant. It is a good well mannered soil binder, spreading at a moderate pace by rhizomes, and it is a magnificent late season bloomer. During late summer, it bears a good quantity of rich deep blue flowers which rebloom continually until the first hard frost in october. Plumbago is a bit slow to leaf out in the spring, and this makes it the perfect companion to spring blooming bulbs. The bulbs come up, flower, grace the landscape with their springtime beauty, then just as they are about to die back, the plumbago shoots up and looks terrific.
