    I planted a few lithodora plants (heavenly blue) in a container at the beginning of May. They're nice and green and look healthy but have stopped blooming? I have fertilized, they're in full sun. How can I make them bloom again?

    I will be interested to see the results of this question, if any. I have seen in past years very floriferous blue mounds, in other people's gardens but not in mine. Mine get sunlight from 1 pm right through to sundown, but mornings are shady. I have tried watering, fertilizer, you name it. This is Saanich, Vancouver Island... Anyone with suggestions...

    The biggest bloom is in May and June, mine were beautiful, but stopped now. Depending on conditions, they will put out some more flowers. Since the plants are new, you might have to wait till next year for a good show of flowers.

    Yes: this is not a summer annual that blooms heavily the whole season.
