Ceratostigma plumbaginoides / PLUMBAGO
Ceratostigma plumbaginoides, commonly known as Plumbago, is a hardy perennial that offers striking, vivid blue flowers in late summer and fall. The plant features glossy, dark green leaves that provide an attractive contrast to its bright blooms, which are often described as resembling those of the plumbago shrub. Plumbago thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it suitable for garden borders, rock gardens, or as a ground cover. The plant’s flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, while its foliage turns a rich red in the fall, adding seasonal interest.
