Veronica, Prostrate Speedwell, Harebell Speedwell, Dwarf Golden Speedwell 'Aztec Gold'

I know three low golden-foliaged veronicas.

'Azec Gold' grows 6-8" tall. It is similar to the old cultivar 'Trehane', but ...Read More'Aztec Gold' holds its yellow color more persistently into the summer, while 'Trehane' fades to a yellowish green. Both form clumps, both make a nice though short-lived display of violet-blue flowers, and in both the foliage is deciduous here in Z6a (Boston).

Veronica repens 'Sunshine' is different---its evergreen foliage doesn't get much more than an inch high, and its near-white flowers are hardly noticeable. Stays gold through the winter. Spreads like creeping thyme, and is as easily propagated by pulling out a piece and sticking it where you want a new plant.

Nice chartreuse color. I only had a couple of bloom stalks this spring, so hopefully next spring there will be more. Nice true blue bloom...Read Mores, though. It spreads rather quickly. Mine is sprawling and about 3 feet wide, despite my shearing earlier this summer!

I love the lacy gold foliage of 'Aztec Gold', especially next to a purple-leaved plant. Blooms May-June in my garden. PPAF
