Veronica prostrata 'Aztec Gold'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Plantaginaceae
Plant Description: The foliage can be green to gold depending on how much sunlight the plant receives. In full sun the foliage has a gold hue to it with the perennial being greener in partial shade. The blue flower spikes add a wonderful contrast to the foliage. This is a fast-growing perennial that acts well as a ground cover in rock gardens, infill, and in containers.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
