Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (Leadwort)

Bring late-season magic to your garden with Ceratostigma plumbaginoides, a hardy perennial groundcover that shines when most plants are winding down. Its rich green foliage transforms into fiery red in fall, perfectly setting off the brilliant true-blue blooms that appear from late summer into autumn. Tough yet graceful, this beauty weaves color and texture through borders, pathways, and rock gardens—an underused gem that deserves a spot in every fall garden.
