Grace Ward Lithodora 140MM

Lithodora diffusa 'Grace Ward'

I am Grace Ward Lithodora. My family originated from Europe and Western Asia.

Habit Groundcover - Long flowering

Plant family Boraginaceae

I am smothered with small sky blue flowers in spring and through summer. I am a low, dense, ground cover plant with attractive dark green evergreen foliage. My trailing habit suits me to hanging baskets, rockeries and to cascade over retaining walls. My dense habit means that I will outcompete many weeds. I will enhance many garden spaces needing minimal maintenance. I am tolerant of frost and dry conditions.

I am popular and will make you happy because...
