Lithodora 'heavenly blue'. I love the blue on these flowers! Next year it will spread and fill in the gaps. Apologies for the grass everywhere I had mowed the lawn after taking these.

Lithodora fruticosa

Lithodora grows on stony hillsides in Southern Europe and Algeria. This makes it ideally suited to rock gardens. These two, in light blue and dark blue, are growing in our rock garden half way around the world, and evidently enjoying themselves immensly on a sunny spring afternoon.

Lithodora

I like Lithodora in rock gardens. If given half a chance it will spread out and form a sizable clump for such a small flower but, if you restrict it to a little pocket in a rockery, then it will provide a lovely blue focal point at this time of year. Incidentally, Lithodora is Greek for  "stone gift", referring to their preferred rocky habitats.

Just some lovely lithodora.
