Veronica prostrata is naturally found in Europe growing in grasslands or meadows on the coast and in low-mountainous regions. 

It prefers a well drained moderately fertile moist loamy soil in an open sunny to semi shaded position and is frost tolerant but drought tender.  

The Prostrate Speedwell is grown for its spreading habit and flowers. It is planted in rockeries or used as a ground cover in small gardens, and may be grown as a container plant. It is suitable for coastal and low-mountain regions establishing from division in 2 to 3 years and is moderately long lived. This perennial is also used between stepping stones or mass planted as a spillover along the top of retaining walls. ID 2795
