Plumbago / Leadwort - Ceratostigma plumbaginoides

Here in Zone 6 (SE PA), I like Ceratostigma plumbaginoides, a.k.a. Plumbago or Leadwort. It spreads gently, blooms for several weeks in late summer to fall in a lovely shade of blue, bears cool-looking reddish seedheads, and has red fall foliage. Submitted by Deb
