Yesterday we were in Luss on the edge of Loch Lomond. In front of one
cottage was a bed of beautiful wee blue flowers which I think I have
identified as the above. It was low growing and spread evenly over the
bed so I assume is good ground cover. I have a border in which mint
and dandelions proliferate. Would these flowers help keep them down,
or would I still be continually weeding around them?
When you learn how to get rid of mint, write a book and make a fortune!
Lithodora is gorgeous but I wouldn't think of it as a weed suppressant.
No really didn't expect to get rid of the mint, I was just hoping to
suppress it enough not to spoil the display of the Lithodora too much! I
wouldn't mind the mint actually but not he dandelions.

The mint here has gone berserk between flagstones outside the tea room. It
is impossible to describe the width and depth of its spread! Ray has
pulled masses out tonight - heavenly scent but still loads of mint!
) I have never minded the mint
) I use a lot in cooking ... and the
rest? Lovely
