Ceratostigma griffithii - Hardy Cobalt-Blue Plumbago

This deciduous spreading shrub brings a welcome splash of colour to the garden in late summer and early autumn just as many other flowers have gone over.

Masses of vivid cobalt-blue flowers appear from August to October, followed by a show of Autumn foliage, where the leaves turn rich scarlet-russet-red.

It is best planted nearer the front of a sheltered, sunny border in soil that does not get too dry.
