Instructions
Top Tip
Lithodora prefers slightly alkaline soil. Consider adding organic matter to improve drainage and acidity.
How to Water
Water Lithodora regularly, keeping the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. Water at the base and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Reduce watering in winter.
How to Plant
Plant Lithodora in well-draining, acidic soil with full sun or partial shade. Space plants 30-45cm apart for proper air circulation. Dig a hole twice the size of the root ball, place the plant, and fill with soil. Lightly firm the soil around the roots.
