Low growing and durable, Veronica ‘Georgia Blue’ is a vigorous semi-evergreen perennial forming a brightly colored cushion of small, rich-blue flowers adorned with pearly-white eyes, over a long period from early to late spring and sporadically all summer. Even when not smothered with flowers, this outstanding groundcover remains attractive thanks to its lush foliage of small, lance-shaped, deep green, glossy leaves, tipped with bronze overtones. This native to Russia is ideal for a vibrant display in the spring garden and is perfect for underplanting with spring flowering bulbs.
