Lithodora
Lithodora is a genus of flowering plants in the family Boraginaceae, native to southwestern Europe, southern Greece, Turkey and Algeria. They are low-growing, evergreen shrubs and subshrubs, producing 5-lobed blue or white flowers. WikipediaScientific name: Lithodora
Rank: Genus
As you can tell from the photo, they produce a brown or blackish weeping effect, much like the greasy and decaying locks of a drowned woman resurrected from the grave from one of those horror movies. Having a pair of these will allow you to book-end something truly remarkable. They have been shown to keep visitors away when featured prominently at an entrance to your home.
Care and Watering Guide
Sunlight: Full Sun. Leave this plant on a table on your deck or something like that.
Water: Water when the top inch of soil is dry. This is really optional if you want good results.
Fertilizer: Feed once per season with a continuous release plant food. I'm pretty sure these come preloaded with all that stuff in there. You shouldn't need to add anything new to achieve similar results.
