This creeping plant is a Waterperry Blue veronica. Veronica is named for St Veronica who comforted Jesus on his path to Calvary.
Waterperry Blue veronica has lavender-blue flowers from spring until fall. It grows to about six inches in height and eighteen inches width. Dead-heading will encourage reblooming. Veronica benefits from consistently moist soils during the growing period but cannot tolerate wet soils during dormancy. It is unattractive to both deer and rabbits.
