ers on wiry stems. April. 35c. 
BORAGINACEAE 
Lithospermums like sun, well drained positions and are not greedy 
as to richness of fare. The prostrate species do not like freezing 
winds. If you have snow, it is best to place them where they will 
be covered with it, and if by chance they are burned black, they will, 
in their own good time, come back if left alone. The little upright 
bushy lithospermums do not like cold either, but they endure.
