Veronica longifolia 'Alba' - 2026

Veronica longifolia 'Alba' is a tall, upright perennial that produces slender spikes of pure white flowers above narrow, lance-shaped green leaves. Blooming from mid to late summer, the flower spikes provide a striking vertical feature in borders, mixed plantings, or wildlife-friendly gardens. Its elegant, architectural form adds height and structure without overwhelming neighbouring plants, and the long flowering season ensures consistent colour when many other perennials are fading.

This variety thrives in full sun and prefers moist but well-drained soil. It is highly attractive to pollinators, including bees and butterflies, which visit the nectar-rich flowers throughout the summer. Once established, it is low-maintenance, requiring only occasional deadheading to prolong flowering. Veronica longifolia 'Alba' combines ecological value with ornamental appeal, making it a reliable and elegant choice for sunny borders, cottage gardens, and naturalistic planting schemes.
