Peacock Plumbago

The Peacock Plumbago brightens up the late summer garden like a peacock spreading its green and blue tail. This low growing 6-8 inch high perennial is one of the most desirable of all late blooming, hardy plants. It produces masses of blooms from August until frost. Each plant spreads into a lovely clump 12 to 18 inches in diameter and is just covered with bright-blue star shaped flowers in late summer and fall. Plant 8 to 10 inches apart for a low border that sparkles with color along your walk or in front of perennial beds. The Peacock Plumbago can be used as a ground cover in rock gardens or at the base of shrubs. Grows in sun or shade, tolerates hot corners. Starts growth late in the spring, once planted it lasts for years. Most spectacular planted in groups of 3 or more. Strong number one blooming plants sent in 2 1/4 inch pots.
