Generous herbaceous perennial and ground cover plant with a fast growth and which comes from Eastern Asia. It is known over the years more commonly as "Ceratostigma Plumbaginoides"and during late spring it produces numerous erect and thick semi-hardwood stems which aren't able to exceed, in full development, 15 cm of height. So the plant assumes a ground cover aspect. Sometimes, in optimal growth conditions, it can be invasive and oppressive for other less vigorous ground cover plants. The obovate and lance-shaped leaves are organised in spirals, are of a reddish color when they grow till turning dark green. Later, during the first cold, they turn a very decorative shade of red- bronze. Flowers, which are very attractive for butterflies, are small, star-shaped and made by 5 blue petals: they are gathered in inflorescenses at the apex of branches and grow numerous from summer to late autumn.
