creeping speedwell
Veronica repens 'Sunshine'
Overview
Creeping speedwell (Veronica repens 'Sunshine') is an evergreen, clump-forming perennial. It has green leathery, lance-shaped leaves, and bears small bright blue, star-shaped flowers in summer. Its vigorous habit and spreading nature make it ideal as a ground cover, for borders, and as rock and wall coverings. It prefers moist but well-drained soils in full sun or light shade. It is able to tolerate drought once established. Its best applications are along garden pathways and in rock gardens and rock walls, as it can also handle partial sun and partial shade.
