Slender flower spikes of brilliant sky blue on thin stems surrounded by narrow, dark green, toothed leaves. As this speedwell only grows to 30cm (12in) tall, it is excellent for growing on rockeries and walls, as well as at the front of a sunny, well-drained border. The beautiful blue flowers are highly attractive to butterflies and bees.- Garden care:
Remove faded flower stems in autumn. Apply a generous 5-7cm mulch of well-rotted garden compost or manure around the base of the plant in spring.
