Striking in border or container, the bright golden foliage of this compact 12-18" mounder is especially so when topped by brilliant blue flowers in late summer. S/M/GDr PPAF

By: Forestfarm

A select form of the species above, bred by British Peter Catt for several outstanding characteristics: intense golden foliage, compact growth and prolific amounts of clear blue flowers. Keeps the golden color throughout the summer in Europe. Despite much confusion on the Internet regarding the name of this plant, our listing is correct. This is a hybrid of two C. willmottianum which makes it's correct name (per Plant Haven, the patent holder) as Ceratostigma x willmottianum 'My Love' PPAF. I've even seen it listed as Ceratostigma plumbaginoides! Way wrong! That's not even a shrubby plumbago which this is. PP19269
