Care:

This plant prefers moist to well-drained soil. While it can tolerate some dryness, you will want to water it frequently.

Hold back on the fertilizer for this plant; it does not need rich soil and, in fact, prefers rather poor soils. What it does need, however, is sun. This ground cover is very forgiving.

Description:

Veronica oltensis is a low-growing speedwell that works hard to fill in cracks, form small carpets, or add detail between other plants. A hardy plant, Veronica oltensis is native to Turkey. It has a slow-growing nature, but will form a mat up to 24" wide and less than an inch tall. Some say it resembles Thyme, especially with its small, dark green leaves. However, this plant has purple-blue flowers that are plentiful and bright. If you are looking for a small-but-mighty ground cover plant that is drought resistant, bee friendly, butterfly friendly, and semi-evergreen, you don’t need to look beyond Veronica oltensis.
