Shiny leaves on a prostrate, almost moss-like, creeping plant with white, lavender-tinged flowers in spring and early summer. There are various creeping veronicas that make great groundcovers and container plants with their attractive foliage and cute purple or blue flowers.

Our collection of this particularly useful shrubby veronica. To only 4 to 6" in height, spreading eventually to 3' and given enough time most of the planet. Round leaves, very dark stems and lavender flowers. Summer water, decent drainage, sun. USDA Zone 7b.
