  • Description

  • Notes

A slow growing but long-lived groundcover, thyme-leaf speedwell is perfect between paving stones or as a low-traffic groundcover. Similar in appearance to thyme, but with azure blue flowers in late spring in to summer. Foliage is glossy green and evergreen. Grows 2 inches tall and 15 to 18 inches across.
