Veronica hookeriana

Veronica hookeriana

Veronica hookeriana – a teeny tiny Parahebe. Actually, now Veronica but we still think of it as a Parahebe. It 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.
