Ajuga reptans 'Toffee Chip' / Bugleweed
Veronica 'Waterperry Blue'/ Speedwell
Coreopsis verticillata 'Creme Brulee' / Tickseed
What I like most about this combination:
- The striking color contrast between the light green, almost white ajuga with the veronica's dark foliage and vibrant blue flowers.
- The contrast of leaf textures...coarse ajuga leaves to the finer veronica leaves to the even finer coreopsis leaves.
- The low groundcovers setting a nice base for the strong upright form of the coreopsis.
- The quaint feel of the soft yellow, daisy-like coreopsis flowers against the vibrant blue veronica flowers. Ugh, I want to plant this in my garden right now!

Nice design. I planted some of those Veronicas about a week ago but they are yet to flower. Hope they look good.
Alex - These veronicas are some of my favorite plants. Ours are a little behind because of the cool weather, but they are worth the wait. They have a stunning, almost florescent blue flower.
