It grows as a sprawling, semi-woody shrub with slender arching stems that can be left to mound, tied to a trellis, or cut back hard in late winter to keep it tidy. Flowering starts once the nights warm and does not stop until frost, and butterflies stay on it all afternoon. In zone 8a it usually freezes to the ground and returns from the roots, so plant it where a late spring start is not a problem, or grow it in a pot you can move. Offered in 4-Inch Pot, shipped well-rooted from our Lineville, Alabama nursery.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMature size: 3-6 ft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGrows best: Outdoors - Hardiness USDA 8b-11; roots survive most winters in zone 8a\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePet safety: Not considered pet safe; plant where cats and dogs will not chew it\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSourcing: Nursery-grown by Wade Greens; ships healthy from our Lineville, Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Weekly once established; tolerates dry spells\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-draining garden soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeeding:\u003c\/strong\u003e Feed in spring and again midsummer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c!-- split --\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big does it get?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3-6 ft, sprawling; shorter where it dies back each winter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow much light does it need?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFull sun to part sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe for pets?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. Plumbago is not considered pet safe and can irritate the mouth and skin if chewed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is it shipped?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePacked to arrive healthy and shipped from our Alabama nursery to the lower 48 states.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Wade Greens™","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50543903113433,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/wadegreens.com\/products\/plumbago-live-plant","provider":"Wade Greens™","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
