Ceratostigma willmottianum 'Forest Blue'
Ceratostigma willmottianum 'Forest Blue' is a compact, spreading deciduous shrub producing masses of vivid cobalt-blue, plumbago-like flowers. Appearing in small clusters from August to October, the blooms provide valuable colour as many other garden plants begin to fade.
The fresh green, lance-shaped leaves form an attractive backdrop to the flowers before developing rich shades of russet-red in autumn. This combination of brilliant blue blooms and fiery foliage gives the plant an exceptionally long and colourful season of interest.
Easy to grow in full sun or partial shade, 'Forest Blue' prefers fertile, well-drained soil and benefits from a sheltered position. Its bushy, spreading habit is ideal for the front of borders, sunny banks, wall-side planting and containers, with pruning in early spring helping to maintain a neat shape.
