Belle Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 does anyone know of the plumbago plant, we planted one last year and it flowered right up until the first frost, we can't remember when we first saw the buds appear, so don't know if the frosts have killed it, I check it everyday for signs of life, but none so far, OH says I'm being abit premiture, as it is still only march, any thoughts please.

Framboise Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I did not think Plumbago was hardy enough to survive outside. I saw it growing in gardens in Perth Australia where it trailed those beautiful powder blue flowers everywhere, but with this in mind I would have doubts it could survive so you may have lost yours I'm afraid.

Hoddy Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 I think you're right Framboise. I bought one of them at a plant fair where the stallholder assured me that it was hardy. It wasn't and I won't be planting another.Hoddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belle Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 thanks for your replys, I am sad at the thought of ours not surviving, you described it well, beautiful powder blue flowers, it really was beautiful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limousin Lass Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 Don't give up on it yet, it is still quite early in the growing season and I know the ones I had in the UK were quite late, I would wait until mid - end May before giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
