{"product_id":"lithodora-diffusa-compact-blue-9cm-potted","title":"Lithodora diffusa 'Compact Blue'","description":"\u003cp\u003e'Compact Blue' is a lithodora, a low evergreen sub-shrub with small, narrow, hairy dark green leaves that forms a tight, spreading cushion. From late spring into summer it is studded with vivid blue, star-shaped flowers. Its neat habit makes it a good choice for rock gardens, alpine troughs, raised beds, wall tops and containers on a sunny patio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLithodora needs a well-drained, acid to neutral soil and dislikes lime and heavy, wet clay, where the roots can rot; in pots use ericaceous compost. Grow in full sun. The species is hardy in most of the UK (RHS H5) but resents cold, wet winter soil, so good drainage matters. Trim lightly after flowering to keep it compact. Bees visit the flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lincspplants","offers":[{"title":"9cm Potted","offer_id":54617013551451,"sku":"LIT-COMBLU-9CMPOT","price":8.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0861\/1590\/9979\/files\/N0RWI.jpg?v=1793791160","url":"https:\/\/www.lincsplants.com\/products\/lithodora-diffusa-compact-blue-9cm-potted","provider":"Lincspplants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
