Veronica ‘Inspire Blue' is a mat-forming perennial, developing low tufts of deeply toothed, emerald-green leaves. Erect spires of sapphire blue, saucer-shaped flowers appear above the foliage from May to July. It's perfect for edging paths and borders and works well in container and rockery planting schemes. Its flowers are a magnet for bees and other pollinators.

Grow Veronica ‘Inspire Blue' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. It does particularly well on chalk soils. Remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming and a compact habit.
