Introduce a splash of stunning blue and white colour to your garden with Lithodora Blue Star. This low-growing, mat-forming perennial is perfect for adding vibrant interest to rockeries, borders, or containers, with its striking star-shaped blue flowers edged in white. Supplied as a 9cm garden-ready plant, Lithodora Blue Star offers a long blooming period from April to September, creating a beautiful, low-maintenance display.
Key Features:
Striking Blue and White Blooms: Lithodora Blue Star produces brilliant blue star-shaped flowers with a delicate white outline, adding a striking visual contrast that brightens any garden space.
Low-Growing and Spreading Habit: Ideal for rockeries, pathways, and containers, this variety forms a dense, spreading mat of evergreen foliage, making it a perfect ground cover plant.
Long Blooming Season: Enjoy a vibrant display of flowers from April through to September, providing continuous colour for several months.
Drought Tolerant & Low Maintenance: Once established, Lithodora Blue Star is drought-tolerant and thrives in sunny, well-drained areas, requiring minimal care and making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens.
Evergreen Foliage: The attractive dark green, evergreen foliage provides year-round interest and forms a dense carpet even when the plant is not in bloom.
Care Instructions for Lithodora Blue Star:
Ideal Planting Location: Plant in full sun with well-drained, acidic soil. Lithodora thrives in sunny spots and is perfect for rock gardens, borders, and containers.
Planting Steps: Remove the plant from its 9cm pot and plant at the same depth as in the container. Space plants around 30-45cm apart to allow for spreading.
Watering Tips: Water thoroughly after planting to help establish strong roots. Once established, Lithodora Blue Star is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, making it perfect for dry, sunny areas.
Feeding Schedule: Apply a light feed with an acidic fertilizer in spring to encourage healthy growth and vibrant flowering.
Pruning and Maintenance: Lightly prune after flowering to maintain the plant's shape and encourage new growth. Remove any dead or damaged foliage to keep the plant looking fresh and healthy.
Winter Care: Lithodora Blue Star is hardy, but adding a layer of mulch around the base in late autumn will help protect the roots during colder months.
