What is the plant

This selection of Speedwell is ideal for growing along the front of a border, in the rock garden, as a pathway edging or massed as a groundcover. It forms a low mound of small, serrated green leaves, with short spikes of starry medium-blue flowers, with a tiny white eye. Flowering continues from late spring into the autumn. In warm climates, if flowering wanes in early July, just clip the plants back by half to rejuvenate
