}}Plumbago auriculata (common names blue plumbago, Cape plumbago or Cape leadwort), syn. P. capensis, is a species of flowering plant in the family Plumbaginaceae, native to South Africa.[2][3]

It is an evergreen shrub, often grown as a climber, ascending rapidly to {{convert|6|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} tall by {{convert|3|m|ft|0|abbr=on}} wide in nature, though much smaller when cultivated as a houseplant.[4] It has light blue to blue flowers and also variations with white (P. auriculata var. alba) or deep blue (P. auriculata 'Royal cape') flowers. The leaves are a glossy green and grow to {{convert|5|cm|0|abbr=on}} long.[2][3]

Plumbago grow best in full sun to part shade.

The specific epithet auriculata means "with ears", referring to the shape of the leaves.[5]

Medicinal uses and phytochemistry

Plumbago auriculata is a medicinal herb plant. The name has a root from the Latin word plumbum, meaning lead, because it has some pharmaceutical effects for lead poisoning (Asha Saji, V. T. Antony,2015) . Also it is used as a phytoremediator for lead and cadmium.

Many secondary metabolites have been discovered and isolated from Plumbago auriculata such as Plumbagin, palmitic acids.[6]

Cultivation

In temperate regions it may be grown outside in frost free areas, otherwise under glass. The species[7] and the white-flowered form P. auriculata f. alba[8] have both gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[9]

Plumbago auriculata can be propagated sexually by seeds and asexually by cutting in summer. It needs well-aerated soil and light and prefers acidic soil.
