Plumbago plants, also known as plumbago auriculata or cape leadwort, grow well in warm climates. They are a great addition to a garden, as they attract butterflies and are ignored by deer. Plumbagos are bushy plants that can grow 3-10 feet high and just as wide, according to Gardening Central.
Culture. Plumbago is propagated from cuttings in the summer, but you can also grow it from seed. Plant plumbago in light, sandy, well-drained soils, spacing each shrub 36 to 60 inches apart to allow room to grow. If spaced properly, blue plumbago will naturally cascade in a fountain shape.
