Light Blue Lithodora 140MM

Lithodora diffusa 'Light Blue'

I am Light Blue Lithodora. My family originated from Europe, Turkey and North Africa.

Habit Groundcover - Long flowering

Plant family Boraginaceae

I am a low, sprawling, evergreen ground cover, bearing small green leaves and abundant, small, light blue flowers I flower from spring into summer, covering myself in colour for months on end. I am ideal for borders, garden beds and general ground cover use, spreading low and wide. My evergreen foliage stays dense year-round, giving good, continuous ground coverage. Trim me lightly after flowering to keep my growth neat and to encourage fresh blooms.
