The Gardener's Notepad
Also known as Leadwort, this easy to grow groundcover will weave itself into the fabric of your garden, creating huge drifts of color. After it's late season flower is over, and the temperatures start to drop, the foliage turns from green to a rich mahogany red! Plumbago will thrive in almost any light combination, and because of its adaptability, can easily take over in favorable conditions. Tolerates light foot traffic.
