Veronica is a wide ranging genus closely related to the woody genus Hebe. It is a large genus that contains about 500 species known for their spikes and clusters of blue, pink, or white flowers. With that many species to choose from it is no surprise that the genus veronica contains some choice ornamentals. Veronica flowers attract hummingbirds and butterflies and, as a bonus, the plants are not attractive to deer. When you're ready to buy veronicas for your perennial garden, we hope you will check out our online list of veronicas for sale below.

From Holland's Anthonius Adrianus Maria Oudshoorn comes this new Veronica longifolia selection that forms a compact 1' wide clump of green foliage, topped from July-September with an abundance of 20" spikes of violet flowers (RHS 83B). Veronica 'Eveline' has been simply superb in our heat tolerance trials. Pot Size: 3.5" (24 fl. oz/709.77 ml)
(aka: Veronica peduncularis) This exciting groundcover veronica was discovered in 1979 in the Republic of Georgia and named by England's Roy Lancaster. It was misidentified as Veronica peduncularis, due to an incorrectly identified Kew Gardens herbarium sheet. So, now you know the rest of the story. Veronica umbrosa 'Georgia Blue' features very small, dark green, rounded foliage (glossy purple in winter) that lays flat on the ground, making a nice mat...not weedy. In late winter and early spring, February through April, the foliage is nearly hidden by an abundance of medium-blue flowers. Very special for the spring garden...great planted with daffodils. Pot Size: 3.5" (24 fl. oz/709.77 ml)
This 1996 introduction from Dick and Judith Tyler of Pine Knot Farms is one of our favorite plants...and that's saying a lot. From a seed packet of Verbena repens, Judith selected this bright gold seedling. The flat...read my lips...carpet of tiny gold leaves resembles baby tears instead of a veronica. We have used Veronica 'Sunshine' as a groundcover in both sun and light shade as long as the soil doesn't get too dry...great for brightening an area. Occasional tiny purple spikes adorn the mat...you will love it! Pot Size: 3.5" (24 fl. oz/709.77 ml)
