A Sea of Violet Blue in Spring
A sea of blue-violet flowers with glistening white eyes blankets the silvery-green foliage. This appealing groundcover spreads consistently to form a dense, creeping mat. It is perfect along pathways, rock gardens, or in front of a border. Evergreen too! From the Chicago Botanic Garden, Veronica Tidal Pool was developed by noted plantsman, Dr. Jim Ault. Our plant spacing recommendations are based on how quickly groundcovers will spread in their first season of growth.

Veronica General Information

Veronica provide some of the clearest true blues available in perennials, along with rich purples, pinks, and whites. Neat tidy plants have glossy foliage and will fill in without overpowering. Long-lasting color.

Veronica Plant Care

Prefers evenly moist soil with good winter drainage. Can be divided almost anytime. Simply pull apart clump into smaller pieces and replant. Remove fallen leaves in late fall to prevent smothering over the winter.

Minus icon 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!
