OP Patty S Member Joined: Sep 2005 SW Oregon interior	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?

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!

Sir Ts Princess Member Joined: May 2006 Florida	Hmm, I LOVE that ground cover. 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.
