Want an early bloomer? 'Georgia Blue' is a rare, new semi-prostrate Veronica, and one of the few perennial cultivars that finds its peak in early spring. In February through April (when most gardens are still bare or only show slight signs of green) it blooms with abundant, profuse, brilliant violet-blueflowers dotted by elegant pearly-white centers that are a significant attraction to butterflies.
Another delightful feature, its foliage, is reddish-green in the spring, fading to light green. In autumn and winter, the foliage turns from a bronze to ruddy purple.
Adaptable to a variety of soils easy-to-grow, drought and heat tolerant, Georgia Blue is extremely hardy and will perform at her best in moist, slightly to moderately acidic soil with excellent drainage.
Georgia Blue will softly wind about ferns and small perennials as well as cascade over rocks or spill out of containers, where she offers the visual appeal of a gently flowing woodland stream. Many gardeners enjoy her as a colorful alternative to grass.
Of course her greatest charm is the early flowers she offers winter-weary gardeners in springtime.
Interesting Fact Georgia Blue was discovered in the former Soviet republic of Georgia in 1979.
Gardener Tip Consider Georgia Blue as an underplanting for spring bulbs like daffodil and tulips who will easily protrude above her low foliage, resulting in two tiers of spring color.
This ground cover is a wonderful option for colder regions where it is difficult to find early-flowering plants, as it will survive temperatures below -20F.
Beautiful nice healthy plants! They arrived safely and I know they’re going to be just gorgeous as these are one of the top ten showiest ground covers for tumbling over rock walls! Poor plants even survived almost freezing temperatures but I did cover... Read full review >
The plants arrived in a timely manner. They were healthy. They came on a Friday which was great. We planted them the next day and hopefully they will fill in the area I planted. I will definitely recommend this website to my friends
