This post is on two species of Speedwell, Persian (Veronica persica) and Ivyleaf (Veronica hederifolia) that are common in SLC. Generally, the flowers of V. persica, is greater then V. hederifolia, although the leaves and plant of V. hederifolia are greater than V. perisca.
I have to say that I love Veronicas. I think their delicate flowers so pretty. Last summer I did not have V. hederifolia in my yard and had V. arvensis instead. I have had V. persica both years.
These plants are annuals and in the Scrophulariaceae family, known as the figwort family. V. hederifolia is more common in the eastern states, and V. persica is widespread throughout the US.
