    Thanks Ron. I just googled speedwell and it has longer or thinner leaves. But something else pop up that has the same flowers but rounded leaves. Does Hyssop Blue-fortune makes sense as well? I'm trying to figure out how much space I need for this beauty.

    I agree with Ron it is some type of Veronica. Possibly 'Royal Candles'

    There's about 200 species of speedwell, and they don't all look the same as your plant!

    Thanks guys. I did find a few more pictures and it is the veronica speedwell. Now that I know what it is, I will have to get a couple more.
