Creeping Speedwell

Currently unavailable

A robust creeper that forms a dense green mat. In mid-spring, it adorns itself with pearl white flowers, almost entirely blanketing the plant. This evergreen species self-sows, making it an ideal ground cover, well-suited for various applications. As a versatile perennial, it can serve as an understory planting for rhododendrons and azaleas or be positioned around pavers and amid stepping stones.
