Germander Speedwell (Veronica chamaedrys) is a charming little wildflower that adds a touch of blue to the countryside, gardens, and meadows. Known for its vibrant blue flowers, this plant has a modest yet striking presence. Often seen as a common wildflower in Europe and parts of Asia, Germander Speedwell has become a favorite among gardeners and nature lovers alike.Germander Speedwell typically grows to a height of 10 to 50 centimeters (4 to 20 inches). Its most distinctive feature is its small, bright blue flowers that bloom in late spring to early summer. Each flower has four petals, with the lower petal being slightly smaller than the others. The petals often have intricate dark blue lines that guide pollinators to the flower's center, adding to their beauty.
The plant has oval, toothed leaves that grow in opposite pairs along the stem. The stem itself is slightly hairy, giving the plant a delicate appearance. While the flowers are small, usually about 1 cm across, their vivid color and abundance make them stand out against the green foliage.
