Hi there, Can someone please give me a positive ID on this store bought shrub/vine. No label. Thanks in advance!
Hi Hungry, Plumbago capensis aka Plumbago auriculata - cape plumbago or leadwort. You will need to prune off spent flower stalks. I have to prune mine alot as I grow it indoors in my zone 7 state. I put it outside in the summer. It grows like a huge shrub in Peru and Ecuador. http://sd1new.net/GardenPages/cape_plumbago.htm http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/county/smith/tips/flowers/capeplumbago.html Newt
