Turkish veronica
Veronica liwanensis
Turkish Veronica is a sturdy ground cover that forms a hard, flat mat with waxy, nearly succulent, teardrop-shaped leaves. It is reliably evergreen and takes on purplish tints in the hot sun. Cobalt blue flowers cover the leaves from April to June. Perennial. Xeriscape.
Tips from the pros: Plants perform best in well-drained soil. Additional irrigation during the heat of summer will help keep the foliage bright and green.
