    I had only seem plumbago growing in Bermuda, but apparently it is cold hardy here. It is a wonderful color and I'm surprised I don't see more of it. We are planting some of this as part of the rose garden restoration.

    I really like your patio hardscaping, Iris.

    it is not cold hardy where you are. You’re going to lose those plumbago plants.

    I bought one a few years ago, thinking it was a perennial since that’s what it was marked as, and it is not. It is perennial in Texas

    Well I was not the one who purchased the plumbago plants, I am the one who thought they were not cold hardy, so I might at least have the small satisfaction of being right. Maybe they have developed some hardier cultivars though?

    Maybe so. The one you link to is not the plumbago I have, but perhaps it’s the plumbago you all planted. The Plumbago I have is bush-like and the one in your link looks like a ground cover type.

    I know they were talking about using it for a ground cover, so we will see! I'll try to remember to let you know how it goes!
