Product Details

Creeping Plumbago

Ceratostigma plumbaginoides

Creeping Plumbago is a flowering perennial valued for its clusters of soft blue blooms that create a light, airy layer of color. The flowers appear above low, spreading foliage, forming a smooth, flowing display through the season. Its trailing habit allows it to move easily across planting areas, filling spaces with a consistent, low carpet of color. Reaching about 6 to 10 inches tall and spreading 12 to 24 inches wide at maturity, it develops a wide, ground-hugging presence that works well in borders, edging, and groundcover plantings.

  • Flowering perennial
