Veronica 'Shirley Blue' is a mat-forming perennial, developing low tufts of deeply toothed, greyish-green leaves, from which erect spires of blue, saucer shaped flowers appear from May to July. It's perfect for edging paths and borders, and works well in container and rockery planting schemes.
Grow Veronica 'Shirley Blue' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Remove spent flowers to encourage further blooming and a compact habit.
