Default Imperial Plumbago?

I am looking to plant some plumbago but want the darker blue variety. Village Palms does have them but I was hoping to find them at a lesser price. I have tried Goney's, Terrascape, Exteriors Spaces, Millenium..aka John Deere, Fairfield Farms. Anyone have a suggestion?

You may have to order from an online dealer. Google it and sometimes you can come up with some sellers.

Plumbago will send out shoots that become new plants. You may be able to get some if you see a large bush in someone's yard and ask.

I have used bluestoneperennials.com. They have a plumbago, but I'm not certain this is what you are looking for. This is a low ground cover similar to what batman was referring to.

less than 15.00 per plant? that is what they are going for at Village Palms. you would pay at least 25.00 per plant almost anywhere else.

Thanks for all your tips. Plumbago goes for $12.50 at Fairfield and I have found it as low as $8.50 in another nursery. As for the darker Imperial, I may have a lead for it for $10 so I will let you know if it pans out.
