Veronica ‘Ionian Skies’

Veronica ‘Ionian Skies’ – A Drift of Cool Blue Spires

Like the soft blue horizon over the Ionian Sea, Veronica ‘Ionian Skies’ brings calm and clarity to the summer garden. Slender spires of sky-blue flowers rise above neat green foliage, drawing in bees and butterflies from early summer right through to early autumn. It’s one of those plants that bridges borders beautifully — pairing effortlessly with ornamental grasses, salvias, or pale pink roses for a serene, coastal feel.

This compact variety is as easy-going as it looks, thriving in sunny spots and rewarding you with long-lasting colour that rarely needs fussing over. A simple, timeless choice for anyone who loves soft movement and gentle, natural shades in the garden.

☀️ Position

Best in full sun, though it tolerates a little partial shade. The more sunlight it gets, the richer its blue tones become.

🌿 Soil

Prefers moist but well-drained soil with some organic matter. Avoid soggy ground — it dislikes sitting in water over winter.

💧 Watering

Keep soil consistently moist in the growing season, especially during hot spells. Once established, it’s fairly resilient.
