Description

A plant that delivers pure garden magic with very little effort. Lithodora 'Heavenly Blue' is an evergreen perennial that bursts into a breathtaking display of royal blue, star-shaped flowers each spring and summer. These vivid blooms seem to glow against their backdrop of lush, dark green foliage, creating a contrast that's as striking as it is long-lasting.

In borders, it forms a dense, spreading carpet of colour, making it ideal for groundcover or for filling in gaps between paving stones, rocks or other planting. In a cottage garden, it weaves beautifully between perennials, adding depth and texture. In a rockery, its trailing habit softens edges and spills over stones with natural charm. And in containers, it offers a vivid burst of colour that keeps patio displays looking fresh for months.

One of the joys of 'Heavenly Blue' is that it keeps performing year after year with minimal input. The evergreen foliage ensures interest even outside the flowering season, while its drought tolerance and easy-going nature mean it's perfect for busy gardeners or those new to planting.

Once you've seen its flowers catching the sunlight on a warm day, you'll understand why this variety has become a firm favourite for gardeners across the UK. Whether you plant it to spill over walls, brighten a border edge or simply to enjoy its jewel-like blooms up close, it's a guaranteed way to bring vibrant colour and reliable performance to your outdoor space.

Delivery Information

Please allow us 3-5 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.

Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.

We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.

Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.

Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.

Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
