Veronica liwanensis, commonly known as Turkish Speedwell, is an evergreen perennial subshrub or herb native to alpine meadows and rocky sites in the Caucasus and Turkey. It typically forms a low-growing mat reaching a height of 0.3 feet (0.09 meters) and spreading 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters) wide. The plant is characterized by its small, glossy, ovate leaves and cobalt blue flowers that bloom profusely in late spring to early summer, creating a striking display.

Turkish Speedwell is valued for its ground-covering ability, low maintenance, and the vibrant blue flowers that attract pollinators. It is often used in rock gardens, as edging, in crevices of stone walls, or as a lawn substitute in small areas. It thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. While drought-tolerant once established, it benefits from occasional watering during prolonged dry spells. It is generally pest-free but can suffer from root rot in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
