General Culture:
Easily grown in average, dry to medium, well-drained soil in full sun to light shade. Prefers full sun. Only winter hardy to USDA Zone 6, so it will need a protected location and winter mulch in the St. Louis area.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
This creeping speedwell cultivar is a ground-hugging, mat-forming plant which grows only to 1" tall. Stems are clothed in tiny gold leaves (1/2") which more closely resemble Soleirolia (baby's tears) than most veronicas. Grown primarily for foliage effect. Not particularly floriferous, but occasionally produces small clusters of tiny purple flowers above the foliage, primarily in spring.
Problems:
No serious insect or disease problems.
Uses:
Rock gardens or ground cover for small areas.
