			Two species of shrubby plumbagos, P. capensis and P. rosea, are deservedly well known. In the middle and northern states they are treated as greenhouse pot-plants and are usually turned out to flower in summer. They are readily prop, by cuttings taken either in autumn from plants growing in the open or in the spring from stock plants. They require an intermediate temperature.

The name ''Plumbago'' is derived from [[Latin]] ''plumbum'' ("lead"), either from the lead-blue flower colour of some species ([[OED]]), or from the plant at one time being a supposed cure for [[lead]] poisoning (Huxley 1992).

==Distribution and habitat==
Native to warm temperate to tropical regions of the world.
