Golden Creeping Speedwell
Veronica repens Sunshine is simply one of the most gorgeous STEPABLE Creeping Perennials we sell! Golden Creeping Speedwell forms a tight mat of gold on the ground, with runners growing above ground and just underneath the surface. Pearl blue flowers are beautiful in spring and make this Golden Creeping Speedwell a perfect lawn subsitute. This is an incredible plant to brighten up a dreary pathway. Works well in a woodland setting around ferns and hostas. Excellent as an under story planting for rhododendrons and azaleas. Also great around slate and stepping stones.

Gardening Tips from Fran
Veronica repens Sunshine is a little bit of sunshine brought right onto the ground! This plant needs just the right amount of light and the right amount of drainage to make it happy. It can fry if left to dry out in too much sun and drown if left in a puddle. But man oh man, if you have the right condition for this plant, it will be glorious in your yard!
Great plant for fairy garden floors and exceptional woodland perennial ground cover. Use as lawns substitute or bark/mulch replacement to brighten up a dark area.
