Plant Summary

Plumbago auriculata, commonly known as Cape leadwort or plumbago, is a versatile and resilient plant that can brighten up any garden with its sky blue flowers. This scrambling shrub attracts butterflies and birds, and is a larval food plant for the common blue butterfly. It has various traditional uses, such as treating warts, broken bones, and bad dreams.
