(6-8" tall x 12" wide) The trailing stems of Creeping Veronica form a beautiful blooming ground cover that bounces back after light foot traffic. The plant is also lovely cascading over a rock wall or the side of a planter, softening the edges and inviting a closer look at the simple, sweet blooms. Once the first flush of blooms is over, lightly shear the plants to encourage additional flowers. Creeping Veronica will gradually spread to cover bare spots without overtaking your prized perennials. Plant it along the edges of borders and pathways, create a perimeter of color in your containers, and let it shine in rock gardens and alpine gardens. Hardy in zones 4-8. Other common names include Creeping Speedwell, Rock Speedwell, Harebell Speedwell, and Prostrate Speedwell.
