Griffith's Plumbago
Ceratostigma griffithii
Griffith's Plumbago is a charming, semi-evergreen to deciduous shrub prized for its late-season display of brilliant blue flowers and attractive, textured foliage. Hailing from the Himalayas, this bushy, woody sub-shrub forms a low, spreading mound of thick, dull green leaves often edged with purple-brown tones . From late summer through autumn, it produces clusters of vivid, sky blue to purplish-blue flowers that stand out beautifully against the darkening foliage . As temperatures cool, the leaves often take on rich burgundy-red hues, extending the plant's seasonal interest well into fall . Tough, adaptable, and deer-resistant, it is a versatile and low-maintenance choice for adding late color to borders, rock gardens, and slopes.
