You might be surprised and find that some of the roots will actually sprout up some new plants! That’s what happened to us after we thought we had dug up and removed the ‘dead’ plants! However, if your local nursery doesn’t have them, I’d try an online mail order catalog – search for perennial flower catalogs via Google or Bing – and you should be able to find something. Keep an eye on where you dug them up however, as they might surprise you with some sprouts! Fingers crossed!

I fell in love with them earlier this spring when my friend had a beautiful of them in his front yard. I understand there are 2 different color blue plants. Grace Ward is the most popular here but there is also one that is called star – something. Grace is darker blue the type. I search for months here in NC/SC and finally found 16 healthy Grace Ward plants which I bought and planted in different spots needing a touch of blue. then the rains came and after 12.25″ in 5 days all of my lithodora plants started to very quickly turn dark green – brown and then to black. digging them up I found that the roots had done the same so I’m assuming they rotted from all of the rain. I’m devastated because I can’t find any to replace the ones I lost this late in the season. If you have a source I’m anxious to try them again now that normal summer has returned. Thanks so much. Richard

I’m glad you saw it too, Kelley! Yes, I find myself opening up our dining room curtains each day so I can get a quick look at the pretty blue flowers each morning! 🙂

So glad to hear from a fellow gardener, Vetsy! You’re right about rewards and surprises: that’s a major part of the joy I get from gardening!
