Author Garden: Blue flowering groundcover Patty S Garden Pro! Member # 6889 posted                       This blue-flowering groundcover is draught tolerant & withstands winter freeze (to 25* as far as I know). Although it spreads out, I don't think you could call it invasive, as it has a definite stalk & the branches don't set down roots. It does well in full Sun & partial shade. Name please? * * * * Plants: 6255 | From: SW Oregon interior | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Seeded: 207.200.116.139 Triss Garden Pro!

Member # 1672 posted                       hmmmmmmmm - Interesting, Patty. My first guess is trailing lobelia also. I'm not quite sure though, but it surely is pretty! * * * * Lynne's knitting journal "I'm spayed, declawed, and housebound - how's YOUR day going???"

I looked up Lobelia & found that it's an annual. This was here when we moved in 3 years ago & is still going strong, so I'm assuming that it IS Lithodora. (They sure do look a lot alike!) Thanks! * * * * Plants: 6255 | From: SW Oregon interior | Registered: Sep 2005  |  Seeded: 207.200.116.139 patches1414 Garden Pro! Member # 7979 posted                       Patty, those flowers are really pretty! I had Lobelia many years ago, but I don't even remember what it looked like. I checked the site posted and the picture does look a lot like what you have. * * * * "Lord, I love you and I need you, come into my heart, and bless me, my family, my home, and my friends, in Jesus' name.

I have one here that looks very much like that, but the flowers are red...and it's considered "invasive" because of its spread. Here it isn't in a flowerbed, its in the backyard. Hmm...wonder if I can transplant it to more desireable spots. * * * * Plants: 161 | From: Florida | Registered: May 2006  |  Seeded: 216.227.26.145 weezie13 Compost Queen!
