Product description
Lithodora Blue Star is a stunning evergreen perennial shrub with beautiful flowers blooming from late spring until late summer. White flowers with vibrant sky-blue brushstrokes creating a star-like effect are where this plant gained its namesake.
This plant’s spreading habit makes it great for containers and borders, but it looks particularly impressive in rock gardens. Plant Lithodora Blue Star in moist, acidic soil such as loam or sand and ideally in full sun where it will thrive best, although it will tolerate partial shade.

Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Instructions
Top Tip
Lithodora prefers slightly alkaline soil. Consider adding organic matter to improve drainage and acidity.
How to Water
Water Lithodora regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter.
How to Plant
Plant Lithodora in well-draining, acidic soil with full sun or partial shade. Space plants 30-45cm apart for proper air circulation. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Lightly firm the soil around the roots.
