Veronica repens 'Sunshine': Creeping Speedwell – Golden Foliage with Blue Flowers

Veronica repens 'Sunshine' – Sunshine Creeping Speedwell

Veronica repens 'Sunshine' is a brilliant cultivar of Creeping Speedwell that adds golden foliage to the species' tiny blue flowers. The tiny, round leaves are a vibrant chartreuse to gold, forming a glowing, moss-like mat less than an inch tall. In late spring, it sparkles with minuscule, pale blue flowers. The color contrast is electric.

'Sunshine' prefers partial shade and consistently moist, well-drained soil. The gold color is brightest in part sun; deeper shade yields greener foliage. It is perfect for lighting up shady paths, rock crevices, fairy gardens, and containers. A tiny plant with a huge visual impact for moist, shady nooks.
