As Blue As It Comes

Day 218: You want blue? Lithodora will give you blue almost non-stop! Even over the winter, a few flowers held on, but once the weather warmed up, this dainty, sturdy ground cover took off at high speed. It has a mounding habit, but also spreads rapidly and will form a nice cascade over a rockery or low wall. It isn't difficult to confine, although you'll need to trim it back a couple of times during the growing season if you want a more structured look in your plantings, but if you want a carpet of blue, let it run and enjoy the intensity.
