Common name: Chinese plumbago
Ceratostigma willmottianum has red-tinged leaves and beautiful blue blooms in early fall at the top of the Waterfall. Most descriptions call it a shrub, but in our Garden it is more of a groundcover, never getting much taller than 30 cm (12 inches). It was discovered by E. H. Wilson in China, who named it after the funder of his expedition, plantswoman Ellen Willmott.
