Day 227: If you are looking for an intense blue perennial for your garden, it would be hard to beat Lithodora. The foliage of this ground cover remains green through the winter here in the Pacific Northwest, and begins flowering in early spring, reaching a peak in June or July. It spreads fairly rapidly, and while occasional patches die off now and then, they fill in quickly, often in the same season. The plant is pest-free and requires little care other than watering and cutting back if it becomes too rampant. I love having it spill out of the flower beds, where it covers the dandelions bordering my driveway.
