Plumbago auriculata, commonly known as Blue Plumbago or Neel Pushp, is admired for its delicate clusters of sky-blue flowers that bloom generously throughout the year. The name “Plumbago” stems from the Latin word plumbum (meaning lead), based on an old belief that the plant could treat lead-related ailments — a fascinating origin behind its name.

Native to South Africa, this hardy and fast-growing shrub has found a natural home in Indian gardens due to its low-maintenance nature and high ornamental value. While not deeply rooted in folklore, its cool blue blossoms are often seen as symbols of peace and clarity, making it a timeless choice for trellises, boundary walls, or open landscape settings.
