Plumbago
auriculata 'Alba'
An all white form of the Blue
Plumbago, Plumbago auriculata 'Alba' usually grouped with climbers, it in fact
has no climbing method and grows either through other plants for support or as
self supporting thickets. The lovely white flowers are produced from summer on,
its a plant that benefits from winter protection (min -1c) and a sunny spot.
Mine also responds well to hard pruning and re potting in the spring.
Originally from Southern Africa the blue form has long been grown
in the UK where it was placed under thatch on roofs to ward off
lightening!
