  • Description

  • Notes

This speedwell has charming woolly evergreen leaves that create a dense, grey-green carpet. Slow growing but hardy. Blue flowers with white eyes make quite a show in early spring, completely covering the foliage. Tolerates light foot traffic; is great between pavers or tumbling over low rock walls. Grows 2 inches tall and 15 to 18 inches across.
