Description
Creeping Veronica (Speedwell) forms a low, spreading mat of small glossy leaves that disappears each spring under a haze of true-blue flower spikes. It is one of the most useful perennial ground covers going – tough enough for paths and rockeries, soft enough to spill over walls, and reliably left alone by deer and rabbits.
