Description

Is your garden lacking something? How about some heavenly blue stars? If so, you’ll be glad to learn about the Heavenly Blue Lithodora (Lithodora diffusa ‘Heavenly Blue’)! Featuring Cornflower blue blossoms like little stars adorn this spreading creeping mound of grey-green foliage that are short and narrow leaves, but densely compact and full!

The blooms look like Borage while the foliage looks like Lavender and these creepers look fantastic in any sunny spring landscape as a groundcover that keeps on giving! Blooming all spring until summer, the foliage looks fantastic all growing season with minimal care and maintenance, even remaining green throughout the winters in mild climates.

Heavenly Blue has low water needs making it a lovely Xeric plant and tolerates sun very well! The blooms attract butterflies and other pollinators in search of nectar, but not hungry deer looking for a snack as well.

Planting and Application:

So plant it between paving stones, along a driveway or road, or along a walkway without too much worry! Let creep along as groundcover throughout perennial and cottage gardens, filling in the gaps and covering the bare ground with beauty!

Heavenly Blue Lithodora looks wonderful spilling over garden edges and rock walls, even softening the tops of retaining walls, so you can imagine how it will look as a spiller in containers and planters too! Pot up in hanging baskets, mixed containers on the porch and patio, or rambling around the base of larger potted trees as living mulch!

• Very Well-Drained Soil
• Low to Moderate Moisture – Never Soggy
• Must Have Acidic Soil
