Veronica repens ‘Sunshine’ (speedwell)

Description

This wide creeping carpet of golden yellow leaves contrasts beautifully with blue or purple flowering neighbors. Great between stepping stones, in a rock garden, or in a trough. Evergreen in southern gardens. Veronica Sunshine is primarily grown for its cheery foliage but will sometimes briefly bloom with clusters of pearl-white flowers in spring. Resembles Soleirolia soleirolii (Baby’s Tears). A lovely mat-forming, ground-hugging perennial. Photo courtesy of Ball Seed.
