Veronica spicata Blue Carpet 1Q

(Speedwell)

Also known as Veronica spicata f. nana 'Blauteppich'

A compact speedwell forming a low mound with dense spikes of clear blue flowers in early to mid-summer, loved by bees and butterflies. Prefers full sun and well-drained soil; deadheading encourages rebloom and keeps the plant neat—excellent edging or container plant.
