Kitty, it can be done. It is only half-hardy here so I always put mine in
the greenhouse. Just be careful about over-watering it. They are soooo
pretty. I always have to have some in my garden.

Plumbago has been frequently available here in recent years and of course
used as an annual. I finally picked one up this year, but I'd like to try
to overwinter it.

I agree with everyone else. Probably Plumbago auriculata. Common name:
leadwort. Varieties come in shades from bright blue to white. The
bright blue ones, however, are the most attractive; the lighter and
whiter ones tend to look washed out, methinks.

identyfy the
blue flowering vine/shrub that looks like is getting planted all over
the
place and resembles Bougainvilla in habit and growth, but doesn't

have thorns is. I have always loved blue flowers. The flowers look
like
phlox. I don't expect it would be hardy in Virginia, but you never
know what
they're working on. Thanks for any info., Verona
