{"product_id":"lithodora-grace-ward-blue-9cm","title":"Lithodora diffusa ‘Grace Ward’ (9cm)","description":"\u003cp\u003eLithodora diffusa ‘Grace Ward’ is prized for its vivid deep blue, star-shaped flowers, which stand out against a low mat of small evergreen leaves. Its spreading, gently trailing growth is useful for covering the front of a raised bed or softening a hard stone edge. The blue flowers make a strong colour accent without adding much height to the planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGive it room to spread in a sunny rockery or let it drape over the side of a container, where the flowers can be enjoyed against pale stone or a plain pot. Acid to neutral, well-drained soil is important for healthy growth; if your garden soil is lime-rich, use a container with ericaceous compost. Water while establishing and keep drainage clear so the roots are not left sitting in wet compost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy we like it\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntense blue flowers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEvergreen trailing growth\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSpreads neatly over stone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat to know\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoose full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse acid to neutral, well-drained soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse ericaceous compost in pots\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWater while establishing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid planting in lime-rich soil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlower Colour\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep blue\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowering Months\u003c\/strong\u003e May–July\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEventual Height × Spread\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–20 × 45–60 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Easter Island","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55856544219463,"sku":"1142567","price":3.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0661\/8821\/4500\/files\/Lithodora_20Grace_20Ward_200.jpg?v=1794596957","url":"https:\/\/www.newlands.ie\/en-gb\/products\/lithodora-grace-ward-blue-9cm","provider":"Newlands Garden Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
