Amazing autumnal colour and azure bloomsAn incredibly versatile beauty, Ceratostigma plumbaginoides creeps and rambles. Clusters of vivid gentian blue blooms are produced on red stems from July to October over attractive mats of wiry stems which hold shiny, oval, deer-resistant leaves. Also referred to as Hardy Plumbago, it will reach a height of up to 45cm and spreads to 60cm, the pretty foliage is present from March to October. Given the Award of Garden Merit by the RHS for outstanding performance in the garden, Ceratostigma plumbaginoides works well as weed-suppressing groundcover and will happily grow in containers too should you wish. It is attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators and can be propagated by semi-hardwood cuttings. A hardy perennial to -10 C, the autumnal foliage flushes with fiery red tones before falling when the plant becomes dormant, ready to sprout again in the spring. Not fussy on soil type as long as it does not get too wet but prefers a sunny or partially shaded position.
