Description

Veronica 'Anniversary Blue' is a beautiful, easy-care perennial that produces upright spires of intense violet-blue flowers held above tidy, lance-shaped green foliage. Flowering generously from early summer through to autumn, it provides months of colour while attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial pollinators to the garden. Its compact, bushy habit makes it an excellent choice for sunny borders, cottage gardens, wildlife-friendly planting schemes and patio containers. The striking flower spikes add height, texture and movement, pairing beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias and other summer-flowering perennials. Robust and reliable, Veronica 'Anniversary Blue' is drought tolerant once established and requires very little maintenance. Simply remove spent flower spikes to encourage repeat blooms throughout the season. Whether planted in groups for a bold display or woven through mixed borders for natural charm, this versatile perennial delivers long-lasting colour, pollinator appeal and effortless garden performance year after year.

Remember, hydration and nutrition are key to keeping this fabulous Veronica looking its best.
