Lithodora diffusa

Lithospermum diffusum

These hairy, evergreen, shrubby plants are grown for their deep blue or purple flowers. Use in rock gardens, containers, or edging. Require excellent drainage and lime-free soil. Partial shade during hot afternoon sun keeps flower color from fading. Best in cool summer areas.
