Woolly Veronica

Woolly veronica is a resilient, drought-tolerant groundcover. It grows as a vigorous mat of fuzzy, green leaves.

In late spring, it produces many tiny, blue-purple flowers with white centers. The leaves may be evergreen or turn shades of purple in the winter. This is a fantastic plant for a low-maintenance landscape, since it needs hardly any care.
