Veronica Spicata Blue

A hardy, clump-forming perennial that produces elegant spikes of delicate purple/blue flowers throughout the warmer months, Veronica Spicata Blue adds height, texture, and lasting colour to garden beds and borders. Rising above neat mounds of soft green foliage, the vibrant flower spikes attract bees and butterflies, bringing movement and life to the summer garden.

Flowering from late spring through summer, this reliable perennial performs best in full sun and well-drained soil, where it will bloom generously with minimal care. Its upright habit makes it ideal for adding vertical interest to mixed borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator-friendly plantings, while its tidy growth ensures it remains well-behaved and easy to maintain.

Perfect for mass planting, edging, or weaving through perennial borders, Veronica spicata ‘Blue’ offers a fresh, classic look that pairs beautifully with ornamental grasses and summer-flowering companions. Deadheading spent blooms encourages repeat flowering, ensuring a long season of colour and garden interest.

Also known as Spiked Speedwell, Veronica is an extremely hardy and long flowering addition to your garden, and grows best with a hard prune back in Winter. Prefers a full sun to part shade position, and whilst this plant is drought hardy and will cope with dry spells, a longer flowering season will be achieved with regular watering in Summer.
