Blue Sprite Veronica

4.6

Best low-maintenance groundcover for water-wise gardeners seeking deer-resistant color.

This is the ultimate low-maintenance solution for replacing thirsty grass with a lush, violet-flowered carpet. While it won't handle heavy foot traffic like a traditional lawn, its drought-tolerant, deer-resistant nature makes it a far more resilient choice for filling in rock gardens and borders.
