This is a plumbago, a tropical plant that comes back every year for me in zone 8, if I mulch it well. It has sky blue flowers that keep on coming from late May till frost in Louisiana. This would be a great container plant for those living in colder areas. It has a bushy/trailing growth habit that looks really nice in a cottage setting. I've seen them get huge in warmer or protected areas, but you can prune them back if they get out of hand. One of my favorites.I needed a place to put all my gardening notes. Thought it would be fun for other people to see my input on various items of interest. I'm particularly fond of roses, fragrants, and flowering vines. Hope you enjoy.
