Glistening white flowers rapidly cover the glossy foliage.
"

Glistening white flowers rapidly cover the glossy green foliage. Burgundy-tinted foliage will emerge and intensify with cooler weather. Its dense habit will tolerate light foot traffic and politely meander throughout the garden. A sport of V. Waterperry Blue.

Veronica Whitewater is a great alpine plant for the rock garden. Discovered by John Wachter at Elite Growers, Inc. in Ingleside, Illinois.

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 every 3 years in spring or fall. To keep tidy plants, shear back by 1/2 after flowering. If not cut back in summer, prune down to basal growth in late autumn."

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!
