Lithodora lith-o-DO-ra di-FEW-sa
Broadleaf evergreen, herbaceous, prostrate ground cover, 10-15 x 60-90 cm. Leaves alternate, simple, 6-25 mm long, narrow, hairy on both side. Flowers 13 mm long, deep blue (iridescent), at the ends of stems.
Lithodora is a stunning little shrub, which, for years, I assumed was a perennial. I finally surrendered and brought some into my own garden.
