While some plants may express their resentment of the desert heat in the summer, well-established plumbago shrubs bloom in Midland and Odessa well until frost. This plant loves our West Texas sunshine and well-draining soil. While the blue variety, Plumbago auriculata (commonly referred to as “Cape Plumbago”) is often most recognizable for its rare blue flower color, it is the white variety, Plumbago zeylanica (“Doctorbrush” or “Mexican Plumbago”), that finds a spot on our recommended plant list in West Texas. Plumbago zeylanica is cold-tolerant down to ten degrees. It is drought-tolerant once established though performs best with regular watering and sunshine. This plant reaches 3-4’ tall. Plumbago zeylanica plant is a butterfly magnet, blooming constantly from Spring to Fall. In zones 9-11 Plumbago can be a perennial, however in our region it is typically grown as an annual.
