Overview

Veronica x 'Tidal Pool' is a creeping speedwell from Proven Winners, forming a low mat 2–4 inches (5–10 cm) tall and 18–24 inches (45–60 cm) wide. Bright blue flowers with white eyes cover the dark green glossy semi-evergreen mat in May and June. The 'Tidal Pool' name evokes the appearance of bright blue water pooling over dark rock — an apt description of the blue flowers against the dark green foliage. The creeping habit fills gaps, cascades over edges, and carpets areas between stepping stones. A Proven Winners selection with reliable performance and garden center availability. Deer avoid the foliage.
