Hardy Plumbago is a color chameleon that brings late-season brilliance to the garden. From midsummer to frost, it produces clusters of rich cobalt blue flowers that pollinators adore. As temperatures cool, its glossy green foliage transforms into a fiery crimson—adding a second act of fall color that rivals any maple.
Growing just 6–10 inches tall, Hardy Plumbago spreads easily to form a vibrant groundcover in full sun or partial shade. It’s a tough, adaptable plant that laughs in the face of drought and deer, thriving in loamy or sandy soils with good drainage. Whether you're covering a slope, filling a border, or creating contrast beneath taller perennials, this plant delivers reliable drama with minimal care.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
