Description
Veronica gentianoides x intermedia
Height x Spread: 45cm x 60cm
Spires of white flowers tinged with the palest shade of blue and overlaid with blue veins, appear during late spring. The flower spires rise from basal rosettes of lance-shaped foliage, which forms a carpet of green throughout the year.
Deadhead this Veronica regularly to encourage longer flowering. Divide once it reaches a decent sized clump to keep the plant fresh. Sun or part shade and any reasonable soil will suit V. gentianoides x intermedia.
