Introduced in 2019, this beautiful perennial soon became one of our favourites. As soon as we first saw this Veronica, we knew that our customers would love it. Veronicas produce one of the clearest blues available in perennials, and these fascinating flower spikes are also topped with green, making this one of the most eye-catching plants you will ever see. Veronica 'Ulster Blue Dwarf' is a compact variety of speedwell which easily fills gaps in flower borders and is ideal in pots and containers where you can make the most of its absolutely stunning flower colour. With the lance-shaped foliage forming a delightful mound, Ulster Blue Dwarf will give your garden year-round interest and immediately commands attention. Its long-lasting colour is never overpowering, so everyone will notice your garden! Speedwells are easy to grow in any moist but well-drained, reasonably fertile soil, preferably in full sun although they will tolerate partial shade, making them a great addition to those areas that can be a little tricky - placed near the front of the border, they'll thrive. Supplied as 3 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready to be potted on or planted out. Plants reach 20-30cm when in bloom. Note plants are dormant October - March so may show no leaves in the pot.
With its broad rosette of glossy green leaves, the graceful spires of pale blue flowers punctuate the flower border with their subtle pastel tones. Undemanding and very easy to grow, this semi evergreen, hardy perennial is perfectly at home in a woodland setting, preferring sun or partial shade and is perfect when paired with yellow or orange flowered plants. A very long flowering garden plant and a superb cut flower, the gentian speedwell is perfect in a border or gravel garden and is ideal for growing in a container. Supplied as 3 x 9cm potted plants, will reach approx. 50cm x 50cm and flowers May - June.
