Veronica gentianoides 'Blue Bitter Sweet' - 2026

Veronica gentianoides 'Blue Bitter Sweet' is a low-growing, spreading perennial forming a dense mat of glossy, dark green foliage. From late spring to early summer, it produces numerous delicate, star-shaped blue flowers held just above the leaves. Its compact, ground-hugging habit makes it ideal for rock gardens, edging, alpine plantings, or as a low-maintenance groundcover, providing both colour and texture. The soft blue blooms contrast beautifully with the glossy foliage, adding subtle charm to mixed borders and sunny garden areas.

This variety thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is hardy and low-maintenance, tolerating a range of soil conditions. The nectar-rich flowers attract pollinators such as bees and hoverflies throughout the flowering period. Once established, it provides reliable seasonal interest, with its tidy foliage offering structure and evergreen appeal. Veronica gentianoides 'Blue Bitter Sweet' is both ornamental and ecologically valuable in small-scale or naturalistic plantings.
