Plumbago auriculata
Plumbago auriculata grows fast and to 1.8 meters (6 feet) tall. It has light blue to blue flowers and also variations with white (Plumbago auriculata var. alba) or deep blue (Plumbago auriculata 'Royal cape') flowers. The leaves are green and grow to 5 cm (2 in) long.
I'm doing the same thing for mine. It does not survive the harsh winters otherwise.
Nice to have though.!

I would say that this is a plumbago (leadwort), but its location in Toronto is problematic. Is this a container plant that could be taken inside?
