How to Sow and Plant

Sow plumbago seeds in seed trays or pots filled with well-draining soil. Lightly cover seeds with a thin layer of soil and keep moist. Place in a warm, bright location. Germination may take 2–3 weeks. Transplant seedlings outdoors once they are strong and weather conditions are suitable.

How to Grow

Grow plumbago in full sun to partial shade for best flowering. Water regularly during early growth; once established, reduce watering. Prune lightly to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Use well-drained soil and avoid waterlogging. Occasional feeding promotes healthy foliage and blooms.
