Award-winning Veronica prostrata (Prostrate Speedwell) is a vigorous semi-evergreen perennial forming a brightly colored mat of short, erect racemes of pale to deep blue starry flowers in late spring to early summer and sporadically until fall. The plant can be entirely covered in flowers in the spring, providing up to 4 weeks of brilliant color throughout the garden. Even when not smothered with flowers, this tough little plant remains attractive thanks to its lush foliage of serrated, ovate to linear, dark green leaves. This is a great plant for the front of the garden, rockeries, edging or as a groundcover. Long-lived, Prostrate Speedwell can withstand significant abuse and persist for many years if properly sited.
