Hello Nancy,
Whoops! Did not make myself very clear on the lithodora... I had Grace
Ward and could not keep it more than one season here. It is not cold hardy
here in southern Indiana, for me at least. I do like the plant and its
gorgeous blue blooms, but gave up on it for Gentians to get all those
wonderful blue blooms.
