Notes
'Crystal Blue' lithodora (Glandora diffusa 'Crystal Blue') is a shrub for borders, containers, ground cover, and xeriscape. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer. It stays evergreen and tolerates drought. Blooms appear in spring and again in summer, and butterflies visit them.
Pairs well with Silver sage, Karl Foerster feather reed grass, and Green Velvet buxus.
