DESCRIPTION
Veronica peduncularis ‘Georgia Blue’ produces low mats of small, rounded leaves that deepen to bronze tones in cool seasons, setting off clear blue flowers marked with a pale white eye. Blooming begins in early spring and may continue intermittently into mild periods, creating a soft carpet of color that follows the contours of the ground. Foliage remains neat and close to the soil surface throughout the growing season.

Native to regions around the Caucasus and widely cultivated in gardens, it suits rock gardens, edging, and spring containers, where its early bloom and trailing habit weave gentle color through small spaces for seasonal interest.
