Lithodora diffusa 'Heavenly Blue'
Lithodora diffusa 'Heavenly Blue' is a superb low-growing evergreen alpine renowned for its dazzling deep blue, star-shaped flowers. From late spring onwards, the vivid blooms smother the neat mat of dark green foliage, creating a stunning carpet of colour that brightens sunny garden spaces.
Its naturally spreading habit makes it perfect for rock gardens, alpine beds, gravel gardens and the front of borders, where it gently trails over walls and edging. The evergreen foliage provides year-round interest, while the intense blue flowers create a striking contrast throughout the flowering season.
Easy to grow and reliable, 'Heavenly Blue' thrives in full sun with well-drained, acidic soil. Its exceptional garden performance has earned it the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit.
