Low growing herbaceous plant, Central Texas 9a
2y 3mon ago by mander.xyz/u/protist in plantid@mander.xyz from mander.xyz
Morning y'all, anyone able to identify this "weed?" It grows very low to the ground and has tiny blue flowers. Seems to be one of the first bloomers of the year
Looks like Veronica persica, like the poster above noted, a "speedwell". It's exotic and naturalized but I don't know that it's invasive as it blooms early, stays low, and seems to only inhabit areas of high disturbance. I always enjoy seeings its flowers
Mason bees seem to like it, so I'm not against it.
Creeping Speedwell? Kinda looks like it to me.
That's it!! Thank you so much!
