Plumbago auriculata 'Mannentrouw' - Set of 6

Plumbago auriculata is also known as 'Cape Plumbago'. This plant is very suitable for use in a tub, but it will also do well in the ground if it is protected from moderate frost. Plumbago is a climbing plant that flowers for a very long time. The plant produces an overwhelming mass of flowers in various shades of blue that develop at the end of their elegantly curved stems. The plant flowers from the end of May until September. Plumbago is a fantastic plant for terraces and patios and can also make a beautiful impression in a rock garden or in the border, for example. Plumbago is a deciduous plant and needs some help to climb. In a pot it can grow to a maximum height of 150 cm, in the ground it can grow to a height of 3 metres, provided there is no severe frost. If desired, the plant can be pruned back heavily from October onwards.

Care
The Plumbago can be placed in full sun but also does well in partial shade. Furthermore, the plant likes water. The leaves of the Plumbago are very light green. As soon as they turn yellowish, this means that the plant needs some extra water and/or nutrition. Furthermore, the Plumbago is not very winter hardy. As soon as there is a chance of frost, it is best to put the plant inside. It can tolerate a maximum of 8 to 10 degrees of frost (-10 degrees). From October, the plant can be pruned back considerably.

Format
The plants have a height of 25-40cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 9cm.
