Veronica peduncularis 'Georgia Blue'



This veronica started blooming 2 days ago and was planted a year & a half ago. It maintains it's foliage all year & turns a nice bronze color in the fall. It stays low to the ground and does well in full sun. I am anxious to see it spread more. There are many kinds of Veronica and this one is Georgia Blue -- named after its country of origin - The Republic of Georgia (in the former Soviet Union). Plant daffodil bulbs around it/under it for a nice contrast in spring.
*this perennial was a Georgia Gold plant winner of 2005
