Thyme-leaf Speedwell is a great ground cover plant. Similar to creeping thyme, plants are low-matted, but have unique white and blue-striped flowers, with entirely hairless and shiny leaves.
Plants will produce heart-shaped capsules after blooming and release hundreds of extremely small seeds, while continuing to spread.
Plants can be found on lawns or roadsides, and are also ideal for rock gardens. Plants are perennial and won't need to depend entirely on self-seeding.

Instructions
Thyme-leaf Speedwell is very easy to grow.
Simply scatter the seeds in garden soil or potting mix any time in the season. Soil should be kept moist until sprouting plants appear with true leaves.
Leave plants be and they will grow as desired.
