Alpine speedwell
Veronica alpina
Alpine speedwell is a compact, mat-forming perennial that produces small blue flowers in summer and thrives in cool, well-drained alpine or rock garden conditions. Plant in a spot with morning sun and afternoon shade, and ensure soil drains freely to prevent root rot. It requires minimal maintenance and is an excellent choice for rock gardens or the front of a border.
