OTHER: Creeping Speedwell is an excellent ground cover that is covered with dainty, beautiful periwinkle blue flowers. This extremely low-growing Veronica is excellent in rock gardens, the cracks of paths, on trailing out of pots or over rocks. It is deer resistant and only requires partial sun, so it makes an excellent weed preventer in wooded borders. This Creeping Speedwell spreads nicely, but is not in any way invasive. The glossy green leaves and delicate yet vibrant blue flowers make this my favorite ground cover!
