Product Description
Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (also known as Blue Leadwort), produces wonderfully vivid blue star-like compact flowers amongst dense dark green oval foliage. An excellent ground cover plant that can be used to add delightful colour to the front of garden borders or patio containers, they flower from August to October when other flowers are beginning to fade. The foliage will also turn a bright shade of scarlet and finally maroon red creating beautiful contrast between the leaves and blue flowers. These magnificent mound forming perennials will also attract butterflies and bees into the garden and reach a mature height of 50cm. 9cm pot grown plants supplied.
