| Description |
Common name: Plumbago, Cape Leadwort, Nila chitrak नीला चित्रक (Hindi), Telhidak (Manipuri) Botanical name: Plumbago auriculata (syn. Plumbago capensis) - [ (plum-BAY-go) meaning lead-colored; (aw-rik-yoo-LAY-tuh) meaning shaped like an ear, eared ] Family: Plumbaginaceae (leadwort or plumbago family) - [ (plum-baj-i-NAY-see-ay) from Latin plumbum (lead) ] Origin: South Africa, Himalayas, China Plumbago is an evergreen shrub with whip-like semiwoody stems that form a loose, rounded mound 3-10 ft high with a similar spread. Plumbago can be pruned to grow like a vine and scramble over supports, or pruned into a more compact mounded shrub, or left to sprawl with its long, gracefully arching branches. The 2 in oblong leaves are a fresh, light yellowish green color. The sky blue flowers are 1 in long tubes expanding into 5 petals spreading about 1 in across. The flowers are borne in rounded terminal clusters 6 in across and look quite a bit like phlox flowers. Plumbago blooms all year long except for the coldest winter months.
