Dwarf Plumbago Spring Cutback and Fertilizing Schedule

Caring for Dwarf Plumbago (Ceratostigma plumbaginoides)

In Connecticut, cut back dead stems in early spring (as new growth emerges) or in fall after dieback. Fertilize after last frost when growth begins:

• Use Plant-tone or balanced organic fertilizer.
• Apply in April, May, July, and October per package directions.
• Never apply directly on plant crowns to avoid burn.

This groundcover thrives in well-drained soil with full to partial sun.
