Veronica Repens Creeping Speedwell Plants (Set of 3 or 6)

Transform bare patches of soil into a lush, living carpet with this set of three Veronica repens plants. Commonly known as Creeping Speedwell, this low-growing, mat-forming perennial is one of the most reliable ground cover plants available, spreading gently to create a dense, weed-suppressing layer of bright green foliage. In late spring and early summer, it produces a profusion of dainty pale blue to lilac flowers that attract bees and other pollinators to the garden.

Veronica repens is incredibly versatile and thrives in a range of garden settings. It is ideal for planting between stepping stones, along path edges, in rockeries, alpine gardens or at the front of borders where its low, creeping habit can be fully appreciated. It also performs well in containers and troughs. This hardy perennial is easy to establish and requires very little maintenance once settled, making it a wonderful choice for gardeners of all experience levels.

Once settled, Veronica repens is low-maintenance and tolerant of light foot traffic. A light trim after flowering can help to keep growth tidy and encourage fresh foliage.
