Georgia Blue Speedwell is a dense low-mounding herbaceous perennial with short toothed medium green lance-like leaves. The foliage emerges with a reddish flush and matures to dark green and bronzes in fall. Tiny saucer-like blue flowers coat the foliage from late spring to midsummer. Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils. Tolerates light shade.
