Plumbago

Had a tiny sprig left from a larger plant which I tended to ignore while I was thinking about a place to plant it out. 

Eventually, I took the red plant out of this tub (as it was dying), and put this twiggy bit in. I have fed it seaweed and water and will now let the sun do its work.

A vigorous array of blue flowers would be nice. Then I'll put it out near the fence I reckon.



Update: 28 Feb 2017

It's flowered! And there are 3 more buds. I'm hopeful it will grow and spread.


Update: 5 March 2017. 
It's growing - multiple blooms! I am careful to water it sparingly (as they like to be drier) every day.




Update 17 March 2017: more growth, with buds! Very encouraging.
