Ceratostigma is classified as a sub-shrub - this being a compact low growing partially woody shrub that acts almost like a herbaceous plant. This variety produces mass of light blue repeat blossom that lasts well into the autumn, providing a rich source of nectar for feeding insects. Its low spreading habit makes it great as ground cover amongst rock plants in a tough sunny dry spot. 30cm by 45cm spread
