Veronica ‘Waterperry Blue’

Veronica 'Waterperry Blue' is a great evergreen speedwell with burgundy-flushed green foliage and lavender-blue flowers.

Sky blue to lavender-blue flowers with dark veins and a spreading habit make Veronica ‘Waterperry Blue’ a useful little ground cover or container specimen. Add to that shiny green foliage that turns bronze in winter and you’ve got a year-round winner. Flowers will bloom in late spring to early summer and may continue intermittent bloom until fall. There are various tough and versatile creeping speedwells that make great ground covers and container plants with their attractive foliage and cute purple or blue flowers. Use them at the front of the border, along pathways or patios, and in mixed containers where they can spill over the edge of the pot or planter. Deer resistant.
