Ceratostigma willmottianum description: This low growing sub shrub bears masses of mid blue flowers in late summer on low growing spreading branches. Foliage turns red in autumn then dies back, re-growing each year from the ground. Best at front of bed or amongst herbaceous plants in full sun.
Ceratostigma willmottianum cultivation notes: This sub-shrub requires a sheltered spot in full sun flourishing in any well drained soil and being well suited to drier soils such as chalk.
