Veronica prostrata Trehane

Trehane Golden Speedwell

Trehane speedwell forms low, slowly spreading mats of yellow-green foliage, brightening the front of a border. Blue flowers appear in late spring or early summer; leaf color becomes greener in summer heat.

Provide average moisture and good drainage. Some afternoon shade helps protect its pale leaves in hot climates. It does not form a dense, weed-suppressing carpet.
