$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Veronica teucrium 'Royal Blue' produces dense spikes of rich royal-blue flowers in late spring to early summer, creating a colorful display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Narrow, lance-shaped leaves are deep green with lightly toothed margins. The flowers are packed closely along upright stems, opening gradually from the base upward and extending the bloom period while adding vertical interest to garden plantings.

Originating from a species native to Europe and western Asia, this cultivar reflects garden selection focused on abundant flowering and ornamental appeal. It is well suited to borders, cottage gardens, pollinator plantings, and mixed perennial beds, where its vivid flower spikes contribute structure, color, and seasonal interest.
