Turkish Veronica

Turkish veronica is a hardy, low-growing groundcover. The one to two-inch high carpet of tiny, glossy green leaves is covered with small, cobalt blue flowers in late spring.

This creeping veronica is less vigorous than other cultivars, making it a nice choice when you want a plant that won't spread too much. The leaves are evergreen, taking on a purplish tinge in winter.
