Royal Cape Plumbago (Plumbago auriculata 'Monott')

Royal Cape Plumbago is a fast way to add soft blue color and an easy, coastal feel to warm-climate landscapes. It produces clusters of sky-blue flowers over a long season, often blooming in waves from spring through fall when conditions are right. The plant can be grown as a mounding shrub or guided along a trellis, giving you flexibility in both design and space. Once established, it handles heat well and can take short dry stretches, while still looking lush with steady moisture.

Distinctive Features

This selection is known for abundant pale blue flower clusters held at the tips of arching stems, creating a light, airy look that reads beautifully from a distance. Foliage is medium green and evergreen in frost-free climates, forming a dense, informal mass that can be shaped with pruning. The growth habit is naturally sprawling and mound-forming, but it can also be trained as a vine-like accent with support. Its long bloom window and soft color make it a strong companion for bold foliage plants, whites, and silvers.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to partial shade, with best flowering in full sun.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil is essential, and it adapts to sandy or loamy soils that do not stay wet.
  • Water: Water regularly during establishment, then provide moderate moisture, with occasional deep watering during drought.
  • USDA Zones: Hardy outdoors in USDA Zones 8 to 11, with best evergreen performance in warmer, frost-light areas.
  • Heat: Thrives in warm conditions and appreciates airflow in humid regions.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a focal point in a sunny bed where the long-season blue bloom can carry the scene for months.
  • Screening: Mass as an informal hedge or soft screen in mild-winter climates where it can maintain volume.
  • Trellis: Train on a trellis or fence to add vertical color and a relaxed, climbing look.
  • Foundation: Plant near foundations in warm areas for a billowy, flowering backdrop that stays green.
  • Containers: Grow in large containers to enjoy continuous bloom, then move to protection where winters are colder.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Pruning: Prune after a heavy bloom flush or in late winter to shape, control size, and encourage fresh flowering growth.
  • Watering: Keep evenly moist for best flowering, especially in containers and during peak heat.
  • Feeding: Apply a light, balanced feeding in spring if growth is slow, and avoid excessive nitrogen that reduces bloom.
  • Cold Protection: Protect from hard freezes in cooler zones, or grow in containers and overwinter in a bright, frost-free space.
  • Pest Watch: Monitor for common sucking insects in warm seasons and correct with improved airflow and appropriate control.

Why Choose Royal Cape Plumbago?

  • Long Bloom Season: Repeated waves of blue flowers keep color coming from spring into fall in warm conditions.
  • Flexible Form: Grow as a mounding shrub for coverage or train upward for a vine-like accent.
  • Heat Performance: Handles summer sun and warmth well when planted in well-drained soil.
  • Easy Color Pairing: Soft blue flowers blend cleanly with whites, pinks, purples, and silver foliage.
  • Pollinator Friendly: Flower clusters are attractive to butterflies and other pollinators during the bloom period.

Royal Cape Plumbago is a strong choice when you want a relaxed, flowering plant that can fill space quickly and keep the garden looking bright for a long stretch. Give it sun, drainage, and timely pruning, and it will reward you with a steady show of blue bloom and a full, adaptable shape. In cooler climates, it also shines as a container plant that can be protected for repeat performance year after year.

Most cost effective product
Size: 1.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I have an issue with my mouth going dry due to CPAP use. This spray is better priced than other sprays but, not quite as refreshing. Due to the cost savings, I will continue to order this product.

Awful taste
Size: 1.5 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
It tastes terrible, and after trying to get used to it, it didn't work. I have used it three times a day and I still have no benefit from it. It feels very dry at night and aggravated my dry mouth when I woke up. I also purchased the toothpaste and the mouthwash to go with it and it was a total waste of money.

Must Read Book To Improve Health and Aging
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
Jessie Inchauspe is brilliant. This book is full of very useful and effective information building on her 10 Hacks found on her YouTube videos. As a biochemist and medical researcher, she is considerably more knowledgeable than many physicians I've met about nutrition and its impact on health. I have been struggling with borderline diabetes/pre-diabetes for years. Doctors wanted to put me on Metformin which I refused as I’m improving and reversing this condition through diet, exercise, and natural supplements. This is a very interesting easy to read book that fully explains how important it is to balance and flatten glucose spikes and improve insulin sensitivity. Many people know ”What” to eat and what foods to avoid, intermittent fasting addresses “When” to eat. This book discusses “How" to eat in a particular order to noticeably benefit health. She explains glucose spikes and insulin resistance and its relationship impacting health, chronic illnesses and aging. She states that chronic diseases including heart, cancer, obesity, diabetes, dementia, PCOS, and others are from inflammation stemming from uncontrolled glucose spikes. Feeding children in this particular order can also improve their health- childhood diabetes is a major concern. Inchauspe cites a 2015 Cornell Study which found that people who ate food in this order (described below) reduced glucose spikes by 73% and insulin spikes by 48% within 2 hours, along with a significant reduction in their A1C levels. This is huge! My own blood testing and eating a variety of foods in this order, including various desserts, shows an impressive further reduction in my 2 hour postprandial blood glucose readings which are typically in the 90's or very low hundreds. The 10 Hacks found in her YouTube videos are greatly expanded upon in this book to make these hacks even more effective in normalizing glucose and improving blood testing and A1C scores, while helping to lose weight by eating foods in a certain order: First- salads and/or veggies. Second- protein and good fats. Third and last- carbohydrates & starches. Yes, you can eat whatever you want, and however much you want (no counting calories) and even have dessert as part of the meal while minimizing glucose spikes and fat storage, improving insulin sensitivity and overall health. If you need to lose weight or have blood glucose challenges, skip dessert and reduce or eliminate bad carbs and limit good carbs. Eating in this order becomes a lifestyle and easy to implement daily. I find eating this way that I’m already pretty full by the time I get to the carb and dessert stage which helps maintain my weight. Other hacks include drinking a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar in water or in a dressing, not eating naked carbs (take carbs with a good fat or protein), and walking after a meal or doing slow calf raising exercises while seated at the table. I have been doing intermittent fasting for over 6 years and it has been a major driver in my own improvement in reducing A1C scores. I get my blood tested every 4 months. I vary fasting between OMAD ( 1 meal a day), 20:4, 22:2, 19:5, 18:6, and 16:8 depending on schedule eating no more than 2 meals a day and no snacking. Fasting reduces inflammation which is a main driver of diabetes. I’m doing a modified keto diet mainly with healthy whole food items. Combining fasting wth eating food in the proper order is effective in reducing glucose and easy to implement. Doing calf raises while seated which target the Soleus muscle in the calves is very powerful. The Soleus muscle is the only muscle in the body which absorbs glucose from the bloodstream. I try to do calf raises while sitting at the dining table at the end of a meal for at least 10 minutes. This can reduce glucose spikes by 52 percent and insulin by 60 percent. Google the ‘Soleus muscle glucose metabolism’ for more info. I also do a few simple Tai Chi exercises I found on YouTube. I have also been taking Dihydro Berberine which is more effective than regular Berberine. I use Heal Meal brand. My functional health MD upped dosage to 5 a day- 3 at first meal, 2 at my second and last meal- which has reduced my glucose spikes in a major way versus 4 daily. Take 20 minutes before eating. Highly recommended! Update September 2024- I recently got a Dexcom G7 continuous glucose monitor (CGM) which has been very educational in seeing how good quality sleep and walking after meals helps to further lower glucose levels, versus poor sleep and no walking after eating. Drinking a 1-2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before a meal, especially a high carb meal, is very powerful in reducing glucose spikes. I used to get up at 3am to go on the computer every morning. Forcing myself to break this habit and stay in bed has seen a further lowering of blood glucose after several days. A good night’s sleep and exercise after eating are as essential as diet. This is clearly shown on the CGM which reports glucose changes every 5 minutes. Seeing how various foods impact glucose is a valuable learning tool. I had to pay for this out of pocket and it has been a worthwhile investment. When installing a new monitor every 10 days I find it necessary to recalibrate the Dexcom readings with a fingertip blood test, as the initial readings were too high, typically anywhere from 10-35 points higher than the blood test. Simply click on the plus sign and follow directions to recalibrate.
