Veronica ‘Ionian Skies’ – sky blue speedwell

• Plant now to enjoy soft china-blue flowers from May to July, with peak flowering generally occurring during June.

Veronica austriaca ‘Ionian Skies’ is a compact, low-growing perennial forming a neat mound of dark green foliage topped with delicate sky-blue flower spikes. Its tidy habit makes it particularly well suited to the front of borders, rock gardens, walls and edging paths.

Easy to grow and drought tolerant once established, this attractive speedwell provides valuable early-summer colour without becoming coarse or invasive. A light trim after flowering helps maintain a dense, compact habit, and established plants are easily divided in spring or early autumn.
