Stunning Cheery Foliage
A ray of sunshine anywhere it is planted! Its wide creeping carpet of golden yellow leaves contrasts beautifully with blue or purple flowering neighbors. Great between stepping stones or in a rock garden or trough. Evergreen in southern gardens. Divides easily. Veronica Sunshine is primarily grown for his stunning cheery foliage but will sometimes briefly bloom with clusters of pearl-white flowers in spring. This creeping Speedwell with its petite foliage closely resembles Baby’s Tears. A lovely mat-forming, ground-hugging perennial.

Veronica General Information

Veronica provide some of the clearest true blues available in perennials, along with rich purples, pinks, and whites. Neat tidy plants have glossy foliage and will fill in without overpowering. Long-lasting color. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Veronica Plant Care

Prefers evenly moist soil with good winter drainage. Can be divided almost anytime. Simply pull apart clump into smaller pieces and replant. Remove fallen leaves in late fall to prevent smothering over the winter.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
