Tell Me More...
Ceratostigma 'Summer Skies' is more than just a plant as it also serves as a stunning focal point, bringing unforgettable beauty to your garden. From July through October, clusters of vivid powder-blue, five-petalled flowers bloom atop slender red stems, creating a striking contrast against the glossy, weed-suppressing foliage. This reliable groundcover variety not only offers summer charm but continues to delight well into autumn. As the seasons change, you will marvel at the foliage, which transforms through rich shades of burnt orange to vibrant russet red, turning your garden into a breathtaking display of colour. Known as Chinese Plumbago, Ceratostigma originates from the warm, open landscapes of Asia and Africa. Once established, this drought-tolerant plant thrives in any well-drained soil and basks happily in the sun. Reaching a height of 75cm and spreading to 100cm, Ceratostigma ‘Summer Skies’ fills borders and illuminates sunny spots. Hardy down to -10°C, Ceratostigma ‘Summer Skies’ endures most of the UK’s winters without issue. This resilience, combined with a prolific display, guarantees a welcome garden presence, year after year, building a lasting impression every season.
