Tips from Fran
Veronica allonii is awesome! I love this plant-and blue is my favorite color- so go figure! The mat is close to the ground but becomes engulfed with little blue spikes that look like blue candles. Not especially perfect for a pathway, but an amazing specimen for a border.
While this plant can withstand long periods of minimal water, it has not been tested for extended period of drought conditions.
