I think this is the same groundcover I've got, and if so, it blooms just once but is very nice when in bloom. Otherwise, it's a great groundcover and very drought-tolerant. It also spreads very nicely.

I've had mine for 3 years. People kept telling me it wasn't veronica since it wasn't plumelike, but I was almost positive it was - glad to have confirmation. Anyway, the blooms will fade within another week or so, but it stays a bushy green all summer. It doesn't look ratty, just a tad wilted, in the winter. But it will spread a fair amount from year to year. I wouldn't use it as an accent plant, but use it around the base of a bigger plant. Mine is planted at the base of a rose of sharon bush.

Thank you both for your tips. I am very pleased with the plant as a whole and it does spread nicely and is easily rooted.

I also wondered if this was truly a Veronica/speedwell but everything I've found about it says it is. Just a different habit. I would have never thought that 'Georgia Blue' & 'Royal Candles' were related lol.

Willworkforflowers -- love the name!

This photo is the parent plant last year which has since doubled in size. The other photo in the first post is the "baby" from a cutting rooted late last summer.

Happy gardening. Squirrellypete
