Veronica liwanensis - Turkish Veronica - in 4.5 inch Pots - Flat of 10
Veronica liwanensis, commonly known as Turkish Speedwell, is a charming, low-growing ground cover celebrated for its vivid blue blooms and tough, mat-forming habit. Native to the rocky slopes of Turkey, this resilient perennial spreads gently across the soil, forming a dense carpet of small, rounded green leaves. In early to late spring, it bursts into clusters of sky-blue flowers that attract bees and other pollinators, adding vibrant color to rock gardens, borders, and between stepping stones. Its compact size and tolerance for dry, well-drained soils make it an excellent choice for sunny areas where other plants might struggle.
This beautiful speedwell thrives in full sun to partial shade and is highly adaptable to poor soils, drought conditions, and cold climates—remaining evergreen in milder regions. Its neat, trailing habit also makes it perfect for cascading over walls or softening the edges of pathways. With its balance of beauty and durability, Veronica liwanensis is a standout performer in low-maintenance landscapes.
