	Cape Plumbago (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Cape Plumbago is an evergreen semiclimbing shrub that will grow as a vine if trimmed and tied to a trellis, arch or arbor; without heavy support and training it becomes a spreading mound.
		Prune the plant heavily in early spring to thin and remove suckers; flowers are produced at the tips of new growth.
		If plumbago is attacked by aphids or red spider mites, spray with insecticidal soap every 5 days until the pests disappear.

	Plumbago auriculata
		Plumbago is an extremely reliable, resilient plant which has been popular for home gardens as well as for commercial landscapes for many years.
		Plumbago may be found in gardens all over the world, and was apparently popular as a standard plant in Europe.
		Plumbago is visited by butterflies and is one of the larval foods plant for the common blue butterfly (Cyclyrius pirithous) which is apparently fairly common in gardens as a result of the popularity of plumbago as a garden plant.

	Plumbago
		Plumbago was not randomly selected for this use, as it is a shrub that grows very easily, with no particular care needs, with rich foliage and long lasting flowers.
		Plumbago's blooming is very rich, under good conditions, so rich that flowers get to be more than the leaves.
		Plumbago is a deciduous plant, when the weather cools down it will start to drop leaves ending up to a mess of naked branches that look dead.

	BIP - Plumbagin production by root cultures of Plumbago rosea.
		However, these plants grows quite slowly and it takes long time until the roots are suitable for use (Kitanov and Pashankov, 1994).
		Young leaves explants were used to obtain Plumbago rosea root cultures using the initiated cultures on solid B5 medium supplemented with a combination of NAA and kinetin in the concentration ranges of 0.5-2.0 mg/l and 0.1-0.5 mg/l, respectively.
		Even plumbagin is mainly accumulated in the roots of Plumbago rosea (Evans, 1996), the root cultures were not established by the root explants, because the survival rate was very low due to high contamination, slow growth and development of the root explants.

		Plumbago should be pruned heavily to keep it neat and within bounds and to make it bushy to maximize the number of flowers.
		Plumbago auriculata was known as P. capensis, which was the name given by the botanist, Thunberg in 1794.
		Plumbago also is used as a porch or patio container plant that spills over the sides and is covered with the showy blue flowers.

	Plumbago
		If freezing occurs before you get the chance to cover the plant, and does not last long, your plant will most probably survive since only the above-soil-part of the plant is damaged and not the root system.
		In this case, dig around the base of the plant trying to remove the side shoot with as many roots as possible.
		Plumbago is extremely resistant to disease and insects.

		The palette of well-adapted plants for the shade is less than the list available for the sun, but there is a surprisingly good selection.
		The plant is not a disciplined grower; it will reach 3 feet tall and likes to spread.
		The ideal conditions for plumbago seem to be morning sun or speckled shade but it will grow in more or less light.

		Paclobutrazol and UNI are triazole plant growth regulators that inhibit gibberellin and sterol biosynthesis (Buchenauer, 1977; Fletcher et al., 2000; Hedden and Graebe, 1985).
		Plant indices were calculated as height x the first canopy diameter x the second canopy diameter, resulting in a approximation of the volume of space occupied by the canopy.
		Plants were treated with growth regulators on May 18, 1999, as new growth resumed after planting.

		It is one of the old time house plants that was used extensively from the 1920's to 1940's before the use of central heat and air.
		The plants are well watered during the growing season and misted on a daily basis.
		During the winter months, we move the plants to our cool rooms where the average nighttime temperature averages 48° F (9° C) and we restrict water, but plants should still be misted daily during this period.

		It's also a good time to plant tulips that have been chilled in the refrigerator for six weeks, summer-flowering bulbs such as canna and gladiolus, and some bedding plants, including asters, chrysanthemums, coreopsis, pansies, and verbena.
		By determining which plants bloom at the same time and which ones complement the colors on the trees, shrubs, and bulbs already growing in your garden, you can combine them in striking vignettes.
		Plants at lower elevations generally bloom earlier in the spring than those at colder, higher elevations.

		Plumbago is an irregular shrub that can be grown as a hedge or trained up a trellis.
		I planted 2 on a trellis next to my driveway, but because the plant blooms at the end of a really long shoot, I have to cut the blooms back in order to get my car out of the driveway without running into them.
		I planted it in the semi shade so the butterflies would have a place to eat out of the sun, which in summer is brutal here.

		Plumbago is a shrub with vine-like stems that can form either a rounded mound up to 5 feet high, or it can be trained to clamber up a trellis.
		Unfortunately, the tender petals could make the plant look like a basang sisiw (sopping wet chick) during the rainy season, but it quickly recovers its form given the time to dry.
		The best way to propagate plumbago is through root cuttings, but you can also use stem cuttings and seeds.

		CEMAP is one of the oldest state-wide cooperative university-industry sponsored landscape plant trialing programs in the country (Arnold et al., 2001; Mackay et al., 2001).
		In order to be useful throughout Texas alone, plants need to be tolerant of blazing hot summers where temperatures may exceed 100°F for a month or more at a time, while night temperatures may not drop below 80°F for several months.
		In many cases, plants that would normally thrive in USDA hardiness zones 6 through 10 cannot survive under these conditions resulting in the need to breed adapted genotypes of suitable landscape plants for the region.
