Longest Spikes of Lavender Blue

An answer to a space dilemma! Add vertical contrast and texture without using much horizontal landscape. Long, lavender-blue flower spikes cover the top half of the dark green, dense foliage. Plant Veronica Blue Skywalker in any well-drained spot in your sunny border. Then, sit back and watch as it yields countless flower spikes beginning in mid-summer. Flower wands open from the base to the tips for long-blooming flower power. Dark green, bushy mounds of sturdy foliage are not a favorite of deer; however, hummingbirds and butterflies can’t seem to stay away.

Veronica General Information

All potted plant material is restricted from shipping to Idaho

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
