Plumbago – The Sky’s Blooms at Your Feet

With blossoms as blue as a clear summer sky and a light, airy habit that sways with the breeze, Plumbago is a timeless garden favorite. Its delicate clusters of powder-blue flowers feel like something out of an old watercolor painting—soft, romantic, and effortlessly beautiful.

At Wright’s Market, we love Plumbago for the way it brings peace and poetry to the garden. It reminds us of quiet mornings on the porch, handwritten notes on linen paper, and the way flowers can make a home feel deeply loved.

Where It Grows Best
Plumbago thrives in full sun and warm Southern air. It’s a natural choice for garden borders, porch pots, or sprawling along a sunny fence line. Its laid-back, gently mounding habit makes it just as lovely trailing from containers as it is planted right in the ground.

Care Instructions

• Light: Full sun is best; it blooms more abundantly with plenty of light

• Water: Water regularly, especially during dry spells—Plumbago likes moist but not soggy soil

• Temperature: A true warm-weather lover; thrives in heat and humidity

• Soil: Well-draining soil with a touch of compost for richness

• Bonus Tip: Light trimming will encourage fuller growth and even more blooms through the season

Plumbago is a flower that speaks softly, yet leaves a lasting impression. It doesn’t shout for attention—it simply blooms, gently and generously, like a quiet blessing on a sunlit garden path.
