I have tried Lithospermum on job sites. It is gorgeous in the pot purchased
wholesale, so I always ended up with non myself.
On one job, about 30 pots. Two years old now. Some made it over the winter
and some did not. I am on the ocean and sometimes this is not as good as
with snow cover quaranteed each year. We freeze and thaw....things to take
into consideration.
Well drained, composted loam.
They bloomed for quite a while in the spring, this great blue color. The
foliage was a little stiff...needlelike almost, and very deep green.
I would love to try it again but alas it has not been available since.
