Ground-hugging gem. Mint green leaves with blood red 'drips' in the center. Looks like dragon scales. (I'm sure every gardener knows what they look like!) Not invasive. Very unique. Great in a container or the rock garden. Best in a sunny site in moist, well-drained soil. (2") Zone: 3 - 9

Perennial. Great drought tolerant plants that thrive on sun and heat. Fast growers for dry banks or rock gardens. Always excellent performers. This variation has tiny, glossed over, oval leaves that creep along the ground to form a neat, little evergreen mat. Nice cobalt blue flowers. Height 2" Late Spring. Light: Sun. Zone 4.

Rock garden perennial. Dainty, olive green, serrated leaves bring your eye down to ground level only to be surprised by the abundant blue flowers that completely engulf this little creeper.

A semi-prostrate, spreading plant growing to 8" tall. Featuring spires of tiny, round, blue flowers, which bloom in late April-May. May re-bloom intermittently throughout the summer. Foliage is reddish-green in spring turning to deep green in summer and finally turning bronze in fall. Grow in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Remove faded flower spires to prolong bloom. If grown in the St. Louis area, 'Georgia Blue' should be grown in a protected location and given a good winter mulch since it is only winter hardy. Zones 6 – 9.

"Heavenly Blue" forms a carpet of fine-green foliage that is decorated in late spring or early summer with countless small spikes of bright-blue flowers. A great choice for the rock garden or the edge of a sunny border. Because it takes some foot traffic, it can be planted between stones in a dry-laid walk or terrace. Speedwells were given their botanic name (Veronica) to honor St. Veronica, who was said to have wiped away Christ’s tears. Grown for their delightful, long-lasting spikes of (usually) deep-purple flowers and easy care. The name “Veronica” is thought to have arisen because markings on the flowers of some species resemble the markings on the sacred handkerchief of St. Veronica.

Full sun and well-drained soils are their only demands; otherwise they are relatively easy to grow. Speedwells provide a lively contrast with other flower shapes. They vary in height, habit, and bloom time, but all prefer full sun and well-drained soil.
