Ceratostigma plumbaginoides

Ceratostigma plumbaginoides (蓝雪花), the hardy blue-flowered leadwort, is a species of flowering plant in the plumbago family, native to Western China (Beijing Shi, Henan, Jiangsu, Shanxi, Zhejiang), where it is usually found in rocky foothills. Growing to 50 cm (20 in) tall and broad, it is a mat-forming herbaceous perennial with small ovoid leaves and bright blue flowers in late summer and early autumn. The leaves may turn red or purple before falling. The Latin specific epithet plumbaginoides signifies its resemblance to plants in the closely related genus Plumbago.
