Gardening Tips from Fran
Veronica pectinata Blue is great over retaining walls or containers. Yes it will do all other great STEPABLE plant tricks like filling in between stepping stones or slate, but this one is especially nice spilling over an edge. Cut back if this one gets too long to make plant bulk up and become more filled in at the top.
