Lithodora diffusa 'Heavenly Blue'
- With its copious trailing stems, which turn a brilliant shade of blue as flowers emerge from late spring, 'Heavenly Blue' is a title well-earned!
- Forming a spreading mat of evergreen foliage, this variety is an excellent pick for acidic soils, rockeries and raised beds.
- One of the lower-maintenance plants out there, 'Heavenly Blue' also displays admirable drought-tolerance once established.
- Popular with pollinating insects like bees and butterflies, this makes a great addition to wildlife gardens.
- This plant has been awarded the RHS's prestigious Award of Garden Merit, showcasing its stellar performance in British gardens.
