Doctorbush, Summer Snow, Native Plumbago, Devil's Herb, Desert Plumbago
Plumbago zeylanica, P. scandens
Spikes of pure white flowers that sit at the ends of long tubes are produced at the ends of the sprawling stems of this low growing sprawling native shrub or tender perennial. Doctorbush is an excellent nectar source for larger butterflies and is a caterpillar host to the Cassius Blue butterfly. Use this durable native en mass as a groundcover or informal hedge for the best effect. Doctorbush is shade tolerant and prefers moderate amounts of moisture in a well-drained soil for the best flowering although it is relatively drought resistant once well-established making it useful in dry shade.
