White Plumbago Live Plants | Pack of 3 (THREE) | 5-9" Tall | Plumbago Auriculata | Cape Leadwort | Fast-Growing

What You Will Receive: You will receive a Pack of 3 healthy, well-rooted White Plumbago (Plumbago auriculata 'Alba') starter plants, each currently 5-9 inches tall. Shipped bare-root and ready to plant, these vigorous starters are the most cost-effective way to establish a lush, blooming hedge or container display.

Elegance for Your Moon Garden: Transform your evening landscape with flowers that seem to glow in the twilight. This variety produces masses of pure white, phlox-like flower clusters that stand out brilliantly against fresh, light green foliage. It is the perfect choice for illuminating walkways or patio borders that are enjoyed after sunset.

Ultimate Growing Versatility: Shape it to fit your vision. White Plumbago is incredibly adaptable—it can be pruned into a formal mounded shrub, allowed to scramble up a trellis as a vine (up to 10 feet), or planted in hanging baskets to spill over the edges. It thrives equally well in the ground (Zones 9-11) or in large patio pots.

Butterfly Magnet & Deer Resistant: Enjoy the wildlife you want and deter the ones you don't. The nectar-rich blooms are a favorite of the Giant Leopard Moth and various butterflies, bringing life to your garden. Meanwhile, the foliage is generally unpalatable to deer, keeping your landscape safe from grazing.

The "Impossible to Kill" Shrub: If you struggle with heat and drought, this is your solution. Once established, Cape Leadwort is remarkably tough, tolerating scorching sun, poor soil, and neglect. It blooms nearly year-round in frost-free climates and bounces back quickly from light pruning.

Care Instructions: Upon arrival, unwrap immediately and soak roots in water for 20 minutes. Plant in well-draining soil in a sunny spot (6+ hours of sun). Water regularly to establish deep roots. If you want a bushier plant, pinch back the tips occasionally to encourage branching.

Safe Arrival Guarantee: We ship using eco-friendly, crush-proof packaging designed to retain root moisture during transit. While some leaf drop or wilting is normal due to shipping stress, we guarantee your plants arrive with a healthy, viable root system ready to thrive.

A Cloud of White Blooms for Your Tropical Escape

Bring a sense of cool, crisp elegance to your garden with our 2-Pack of White Plumbago. Also known as Cape Leadwort, this stunning shrub is beloved by gardeners for its ability to produce a non-stop profusion of pure white flower clusters that resemble phlox. Whether you are looking to create a serene "Moon Garden" that reflects the evening light or simply want a clean, sophisticated backdrop for your colorful annuals, White Plumbago delivers effortlessly.

Vigorous Growth & Endless Possibilities One of the most valuable traits of the Plumbago auriculata is its flexibility. In the ground, it grows rapidly, sending out long, arching branches that can be trained to climb a trellis, cover a chain-link fence, or cascade down a retaining wall. Left unpruned, it forms a sprawling, mounded shrub that blooms on new wood, meaning the more you grow it, the more flowers you get.

A Heat-Loving Warrior This plant doesn't just survive the heat; it craves it. Native to South Africa, it is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established and thrives in the baking sun.

Warm Zones (9-11): It acts as an evergreen perennial shrub, blooming intermittently year-round.

Cool Zones (4-8): It makes a spectacular container plant for the patio. Bring it indoors to a sunny window or garage before the first frost to overwinter it.

Wildlife Friendly While the deer tend to walk right past it, butterflies and moths will flock to it. It is a larval host plant for the Marine Blue butterfly, making it an essential addition to any pollinator-friendly landscape.
