Veronica umbrosa Georgia Blue

Common Name:
Georgia Blue Speedwell

Description:
Veronica umbrosa 'Georgia Blue' is a vigorous, mat-forming perennial celebrated for its profusion of deep blue, saucer-shaped flowers with white centres that bloom from early spring through to autumn. This semi-evergreen groundcover forms a low cushion of bronze-tinted green foliage, providing year-round interest in the garden. Its trailing habit makes it ideal for edging paths, rockeries, or underplanting shrubs and roses. Thriving in full sun to part shade and well-drained soils, 'Georgia Blue' is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. Its adaptability and long flowering period make it a valuable addition to Melbourne gardens seeking low-growing, colourful groundcovers.
