This is a terrific compact selection of Spike Speedwell. It forms a low bushy mound of dark green leaves, bearing short spikes of bright blue flowers in early summer for several weeks. Versatile in the garden, at home as an edging plant, in the rock garden or in tubs and containers. Shear lightly after blooming to encourage fresh foliage, and possible repeat flowering in the fall. Shows good promise for massing in large landscape situations.
