Veronica hookeriana
A teeny tiny Parahebe, (now Veronica but we still think of it as a Parahebe), that forms a tight little mound that slowly expands and is covered in lovely little white flowers in late spring. A great ground cover for tight spaces, or a good option between pavers as it stays nice and lush without getting patchy. Requires a bit of summer water in dry summer climates such as ours.
