In spring, and repeating in late summer with adequate moisture, loads of very cute four-petaled flowers in shades of periwinkle-blue nearly cover the low 2 to 3 inch mat of dense, evergreen foliage. Upon closer observation you'll notice the flowers have white eyes, and the petals have darker \"whiskers\" resembling those on viola flowers. A dependable and fast grower, but not invasive at all, Turkish Blue is lovely as a low border, as a massed groundcover around shrubs, small trees and other plants, and to fill the gaps between stepping stones. Can also be useful like creeping thyme is for a lawn substitute. This one will thrive in full sun in cool-summer climates but will appreciate some afternoon shade or filtered sun in hot-summer climates. USDA Zones 4a-8b.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing 2 to 3 inches tall and spreading to 18 inches or more Turkish Blue Veronica is ideal for use as a low border along garden beds or paths and walkways where it will also fill the gaps between stepping stones. Also excellent as a groundcover and underplanting for shrubs, smaller trees and perennial plants. Bulbs plants will pop right through it in spring. We've even used it as a crevice filler around the boulders surrounding the garden pond and for a lawn substitute. It's not impressive as a stand alone in containers but makes for an excellent soil cover and spiller. A fine addition to cottage gardens, butterfly and beneficial pollinator gardens, rock gardens, and blue theme gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing:\u003c\/span\u003e  15-18\" apart for mass plantings or border\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Measure Total Square Feet Of A Planting Area\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow Many Plants Needed To Cover A Planting Area?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eTurkish Blue Creeping Veronica is easy to grow in a moist but well drained soil of average fertility and full sun or part shade. In hot-summer climates it will appreciate some shade or filtered sun during the afternoon hours. For heaviest flowering we suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day. It will handle dry periods once etsblished but not a constantly soggy soil, which can cause root rot. That said, with adequate soil moisture the plant will rebloom in summer\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                       \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48145112334490,"sku":"D2LSC 775230179","price":48.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/veronica-liwanensis-turkish-creeping-speedwell-1_4f706453-8ae1-4b45-9ec4-8e1683dd27bc.jpg?v=1779936203","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/turkish-blue-veronica-creeping-speedwell-6-pack-of-pint-pots","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
