Grace Ward (also known as Lithodora Diffusa)



Planting

Lithodora prefers full sun but does OK in partial sun. Plant Lithodora 10 to 20 inches apart in well-drained soil.



Growth


Lithodora grow 6 to 12 inches tall and makes good ground cover. Slow release fertilizer works best.



Flowering


Lithodora has small blue or red flowers that bloom in spring and early summer (and sometimes in autumn).



Trimming and Pruning


Prune Lithodora back after flowering to keep growth compact.
