Plumbago; Leadwort ‘Plumbaginoides’

Plumbago (Ceratostigma plumbaginoides) is a low-growing perennial that thrives in full to part sun with average, well-drained soil. Clusters of tiny electric-blue flowers bloom from late summer into fall when many other perennials have finished. The green foliage transforms to beautiful bronzy-red tones in autumn, providing extended seasonal interest. This spreading groundcover works wonderfully in rock gardens, along paths, and as an underplanting for shrubs and roses.
