Attractive to bees, birds, and butterflies. Ceratostigma willmottianum can grow in a wide range of soils, as long as they are well-drained. It thrives in full sun or dappled shade. Doesn’t like too wet, waterlogged, or too dry soils. It thrives in sheltered sunny areas. It can withstand some frost. As Mediterranean climate plant, suitable for coastal conditions. Generally, pest-free, and relatively, disease-free. Low maintenance plant doesn’t require pruning. Chinese plumbago is an adaptable shrub, perfect for informal, cottage, coastal, and urban gardens. Excellent as a ground cover, for beds and borders, shrub and wall-side borders. Great for banks and slopes for erosion control. Good-looking in rock and gravel and Mediterranean-style gardens.
