Did you know about this spectacular ground clover plant? Many gardeners are familiar with the tall growing Veronicas, but often they are not so familiar with this creeping Veronica ground cover plant. It grows easily from seeds and is commonly called Creeping Speedwell.
It is truly a low-growing ground cover plant that only reaches a height of 1 to 2 inches. In the spring and early summer it is adorned with masses of soft, light blue flowers. This plant will spread and flourish in your flower bed or work perfectly between stepping stones or in a rock garden. Veronica Repens is considered to be an alpine plant and can perform at elevations up to 7500 feet. It will tolerate light foot traffic and deer usually will avoid the little plants.
