Plumbago capensis is a medium sized shrub with loads of sky blue flowers. This plant is also called Blue Plumbago, Cape Leadwort, Cape Plumbago. It is a very easy to grow plant as it doesn’t demand much. It doesn’t require a very fertile soil or much watering and can be grown as a beautiful hedge.
All that the plumbago requires is a trimming from time to time to keep it in shape and blooming. The blooms look so heavenly almost as if they brought the sky down to the earth.
I remember my dad hardly watered the plants in summer when there was a limit on water usage. They plants thrived and did quite well even then.
I do not have this in my garden but I am planning on getting a cutting to create a bonsai. I do have loads of plans for my garden but currently there is hardly any space.

A beautiful plant. I saw a similar plant but I’m not sure if it’s the same plant.
lovely blue.
I have seen these in botanical gardens, but not in our neighborhood. They are lovely looking flowers!
Never seen this before , Good post and thank you for sharing
They look like hydrangea. I have not seen this before Pretty blue.
They aren’t as tightly packed and as large as the hydrangea flower bunches , but I get what you mean.
Very lovely blue flowers I have not seen these before,
I love the color of these flowers too.
There are a lot of plants growing there that we don’t have …. but they are very pretty flowers, dear Dawn
Pretty but so common that no one cares for them.
Very pretty blue flowers here.
Powder blue and pink are my favorite color and these flowers have a special place in my heart.
