Dwarf Plumbago

Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (Dwarf Plumbago) forms a low, dense mat of bronzy-green to dark green leaves, studded with deep blue flowers in late summer. Its wiry, erect stems spread rapidly via underground runners. In fall, the foliage turns a brilliant scarlet red.

Perennial, full sun to partial sun, moderate moisture. Under 2 feet tall, spreading 1 foot or less. A Doreen Wynja photo favorite.
