If you are looking for a carpet of “electric blue” that truly stands out against our mountain stone, Grace Ward Lithodora is the low-growing wonder your garden needs. This prostrate evergreen reachs a tidy 6 to 12 inches tall but spreads beautifully up to 3 feet wide, making it the perfect “spiller” over a rock wall or a vibrant groundcover for a sunny slope. It absolutely thrives in the intense Arizona sun, rewarding you in late spring with a sea of intense, star-shaped blue flowers that are simply unmatched in the plant world. You will be pleased to know that while the brilliant blooms attract every honeybee in the neighborhood, the fuzzy, needle-like foliage is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, who find the texture quite unappealing. It is a hardy, drought-tolerant selection once established, bringing a lush, Mediterranean feel to your rock gardens with very little fuss.
