Ceratostigma willmottianum (Chinese Plumbago) is an award-winning shrub with gracefully arching stems and a compact size. As many summer blooms begin to fade, this plant steps into the spotlight with its vibrant cobalt-blue flowers and deep red foliage, providing a much-needed splash of color in the late season garden. Its compact size and dense foliage make it an excellent choice for mixed borders, rock gardens, and container plantings where it can fill gaps and add texture.
Easy to grow Ceratostigma willmottianum thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil enriched with compost. Regular pruning helps maintain its shape and encourages blooming. Keep the soil moist but not soggy to ensure healthy growth.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
