PLUMBAGO AURICULATA

Plumbago auriculata or capensis (Cape Leadwort) is not a new plant at all. But just look at how this beautiful bed of Plumbago up to 0.8 m tall.

From afar, the light blue flowers caught my attention. It sort of reminded me of blue Hydrangea and took my breath away.

If not for the heat, I would have lingered longer. This really inspired me to grow an entire bed of them in HortPark. And ideas are already coming to me!
