Description
The Veronica surculosa is a small speedwell of Turkish origin with a trailing and vigorous growth habit. Its prostrate branches are covered with small light green to gray leaves. Semi-evergreen in winter, this perennial plant blooms with blue-violet flowers in late spring and early summer. Alpine in its native habitat, it thrives in full sun or partial shade and can be planted in rock gardens, borders, or containers.
The Veronica surculosa is a perennial plant with rooting stems from the family Scrophulariaceae. Very similar to Veronica cuneifolia, this species is native to Turkey, where it grows on limestone slopes and cliffs between 2130 and 3050 m in altitude. It grows slowly, forming numerous short and prostrate branches on the ground. The foliage does not exceed 5 cm in height, with thin stems resembling stolons. Each stem produces roots at the nodes, allowing the plant to cover the ground over a minimum surface area of 40 cm in diameter, and even more over time. The foliage, a fairly light green color, is semi-evergreen and composed of clustered leaves, 5 to 10 mm long, oblong to lanceolate or almost spatulate, usually strongly revolute, densely glandular and pubescent. The flowers are blue or violet, 7 to 11 mm in diameter, arranged in racemes. They appear in early summer.
The Veronica surculosa can be planted in rock gardens, slopes, flower beds, borders, or as a foreground plant in flower beds. Very resilient, it covers the ground everywhere, even in unfavorable conditions. In containers and hanging baskets, it can be planted at the base of taller and more upright perennials, forming a trailing carpet along the edges of the pot. Along a pathway, it can be planted in mass. In poor soil, it can be paired with thymes to replace the lawn on a small area with light foot traffic. It can tolerate competition from moderately strong roots. It can be paired with chamomiles, Antennaria dioica 'Rubra', and Pulsatillas.

Planting and care
Beautiful ground-cover variety, very hardy (up to -25°C), to be planted in any well-drained soil, ordinary, even rocky, acidic or sandy, or even slightly chalky, in full sun or partial shade in warm climates. While it tolerates summer drought, it dreads dry soils and arid situations, too far from the montane climate. Very useful in a rockery or as a border plant, it will reflower more easily with occasional watering and if care is taken to remove faded flowers by trimming, for example.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a (East Coast and Midlands: Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Portlaoise). It will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the north-west (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal, Westport), delay planting by 1 to 2 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 1 to 2 weeks in autumn compared to the dates given, preferably choosing periods without strong winds.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (Wicklow Mountains, Macgillycuddy’s Reeks, Connemara, Killarney), it is best to plant in spring (April–May) or autumn (September–October), avoiding periods of waterlogged soil in winter and strong winds, which pose the main risk to newly planted trees in these areas.
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to regions in USDA Zone 9a, such as the East Coast and Midlands, including Dublin, Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny and Portlaoise.
This will vary depending on where you live:
- On the west coast and in the northwest (Galway, Limerick, Sligo, Donegal and Westport), it will be delayed by one to two weeks compared to the given dates, due to stronger Atlantic winds and less spring sunshine.
- In the inland hills and plateaus (the Wicklow Mountains, the Macgillycuddy's Reeks, Connemara and Killarney), flowering will be delayed by two to three weeks. Flowering mainly occurs between May and July, with the limiting factors being less frost and more of the excessive humidity, strong winds and lack of sunshine that are characteristic of these areas.
