Veronica pinguifolia | Disk-leaved Hebe
DESCRIPTION
Veronica pinguifolia is a low-growing evergreen shrublet prized for its silvery-blue, fleshy foliage and delicate floral display. In late spring to early summer, it produces clusters of small, white to pale blue flowers that emerge above the dense, mat-like foliage, creating a soft and harmonious appearance.
Native to New Zealand, Veronica pinguifolia thrives in rocky or alpine environments, reflecting its adaptability to challenging conditions. Its compact growth habit and year-round silvery tones make it a popular choice for rock gardens, borders, and containers, where it adds texture and seasonal interest with minimal maintenance.
