Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.

  • Description

  • Notes

A vigorous, fast growing speedwell. Ground-hugging stems root in as they creep across the garden, making it well suited as a lawn-substitute or between pavers. Glossy green leaves are evergreen. Violet-blue, thyme-like flowers in spring. Appreciates mid-day shade. Grows 2 inches tall and spreads about 18 inches.
