Speedwell 'Blue Bomb'
Veronica ‘Blue Bomb’ (Speedwell) is a compact, clump-forming perennial boasting uniquely branched flower plumes which are reminiscent of astilbe flowers. Blooming from early to late summer, the tightly bunched, bright blue flower spikes are comprised of hundreds of individual flowers. Since the blossoms gradually open from the base of the spikes to the top, the display is exceptionally long-lasting. They float above a bushy foliage mound of dark green leaves. Can be used in mass plantings, mixed borders or in containers. Perfect for small gardens.
