Veronica pectinata: Woolly Speedwell – Blue Flowers on Woolly Gray-Green Mat

Veronica pectinata – Woolly Speedwell

Veronica pectinata, Woolly Speedwell, is a low, mat-forming perennial from Central Asia. It forms a dense carpet of small, narrow, woolly, gray-green leaves. In late spring to early summer, it produces a profusion of small, bright blue, four-petaled flowers on short spikes. The woolly foliage is attractive year-round.

Woolly Speedwell thrives in full sun and sharp drainage. It is extremely drought-tolerant and heat-loving. Perfect for rock gardens, dry slopes, troughs, and xeric borders. The combination of woolly gray foliage and blue flowers is classic. A tough, beautiful ground cover for the most challenging hot, dry sites.
