Rock speedwell is a tough, low-growing alpine perennial that thrives in well-drained rocky or gravelly soil with at least partial sun. Water regularly during the growing season but avoid soggy conditions, as good drainage is essential. It is best suited to rock gardens or alpine troughs and requires very little feeding or pruning.
