Wood speedwell is a delicate, shade-loving perennial that thrives under the dappled canopy of woodlands and shaded garden borders with moist, humus-rich soil. It produces small, charming pale blue flowers in spring and spreads gently as an attractive woodland groundcover. Keep the soil consistently moist and avoid direct afternoon sun, which can scorch its delicate foliage.
