Taking care of your Lithodora diffusa Tidepool™ 'Sky Blue' is a piece of cake, thanks to its flexible nature and low maintenance needs. For the best growth and blooming, just follow these easy guidelines:

Planting

Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun to partial shade exposure. When planting, ensure the crown of the plant is level with the soil surface to prevent rotting.

Watering

While Lithodora diffusa Tidepool™ 'Sky Blue' is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering is essential during the initial establishment period. Provide deep, infrequent watering to encourage deep root growth and avoid waterlogging.

Mulching

Apply a layer of organic mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep the mulch layer thin to prevent suffocating the plant's roots.

Pruning

Light pruning after the blooming period can help promote bushier growth and encourage a more compact habit. Simply trim back any spent flowers or leggy stems to maintain the plant's shape and vigor.

Fertilizing

Feed your Lithodora diffusa Tidepool™ 'Sky Blue' with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring, following the manufacturer's recommendations. Avoid over-fertilization, as this can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of blooms.
