Veronica odora 'New Zealand Gold' | New Zealand Gold Boxwood Hebe

$0.00

DESCRIPTION
Veronica odora 'New Zealand Gold' produces small, pale lavender to soft lilac flowers in late spring to early summer, held just above the foliage in delicate clusters. Tiny, rounded leaves are bright golden-yellow, closely spaced along the stems to form a dense, cushion-like mat with a fine, textured surface. The foliage maintains its warm color through the season, while the flowers emerge lightly above the leaves, adding subtle contrast.

Originating from a species native to New Zealand, this cultivar reflects selection for luminous foliage and compact growth. It is well suited to rock gardens, edging, containers, and trough plantings, where its evergreen presence and soft bloom provide year-round structure and seasonal detail.
