Veronica gentianoides forms a dense mat of thick, dark green foliage, from which tall spires of light blue flowers appear in early summer. It's a magnet for bees and looks good growing among other perennials at the front of a mixed herbaceous border. It's particularly well suited to cottage garden schemes.
Veronica gentianoides 'Tissington White' bears elegant spikes of palest blue/white flowers throughout summer.
Grow Veronica gentianoides 'Tissington White' in moist but well-drained soil in partial shade - full sun will be tolerated if soil moisture is maintained. Cut back the flower spikes after flowering.
