Origin
The Lithodora diffusa Grace Ward originates from the Mediterranean regions of Europe. This subtropical plant is characterised by blue flowers that are quite noticeable in its natural habitat and also highly valued in gardens and landscape architecture in other places around the world.

Characteristics
The plant is known for its beautiful deep blue, almost purple flowers that are very eye-catching. It is an evergreen perennial, meaning it does not lose its leaves during autumn or winter. The height of the plant varies between 15 and 25 centimetres, with a creeping growth habit, making it ideal for ground cover.

Care
Although the Lithodora diffusa Grace Ward is quite tolerant, it performs best in full sun with well-drained soil. It is an acid-loving plant, so it could be helpful to adjust the soil if necessary. This plant has a moderate need for water and should be watered when the top layer of the soil feels dry. Annual pruning after flowering helps to maintain the shape, and supports the growth of new foliage and flowers.
