Lithodora diffusa ‘Grace Ward’

Brilliant flowers adorn this charming groundcover through spring and summer.

This groundcover is truly a gem in the landscape with its sapphire-colored flowers that appear in spring and last through the summer. The true-blue flowers (no purples disguised as blue in this plant) pair well with hostas, heucheras and painted ferns. Market this plant for use in rock gardens, for retaining walls or along slopes.
