Ceratostigma Plumbaginoides 2 Qt.

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soils in full sun to part shade. Somewhat wide range of soil tolerance except for wet, poorly-drained ones. Appreciates some afternoon shade in hot summer climates such as St. Louis. May not be reliably winter hardy throughout USDA Zone 5 where it will benefit from a light winter mulch. Spreads by rhizomes and can be somewhat aggressive in optimum growing conditions.

• Bloom Time: Late summer to late fall
• Light Requirements: Full Sun to Part Sun (6 to 6+ Hours)
• Soil Requirements: Well-draining soil is key. It thrives in average to poor soils. Prefers slightly acidic to neutral soil.
