That's not easy with a climbing plant that may tower 10ft, 20ft, or more. It's much safer to keep the plant in a large container and put up with the chore of moving it in autumn. After its winter rest the plant gets a light haircut in February to tidy up the untidy branch structure and out into the garden it comes in early June. Keeping a plumbago doesn't have to be so difficult, though. You can train it as a bush or even a standard, tying the whippy stems into a ball-shape, and of course many people grow plumbago as a conservatory plant or keep one on a windowsill where that vigorous growth has to be controlled.
Plumbagos require well-drained soil with a little organic matter in it.
Established plants are fairly tolerant of dry conditions, but to ensure a good flowering display it is advisable to keep the compost moist through the summer. The plant is easy to propagate through tip cuttings in summer or semi-hardwood cuttings in autumn. The plant we speak of ought not to be confused with what is often called the hardy plumbago a distant cousin, botanical name ceratostigma.
