Veronica longifolia "Blue Shades" is hardy so can withstand cold climates but they can conversely take the heat and drought of summer so a great all-rounder

but they can be trimmed to suit

It grows well in well-draining soils and is particularly tolerant of dry conditions once established

in a lovely pastel colour range from pink and lavender to purple and blue

Tradescantia | Cerise Sky My wedding journal Veronica longifolia "Blue Shades" isThis plant has strappy evergreen stems with curving leaves where they meet the stem. The flowers are three petalled and are a striking hot pink, cerise colour which emerge through the summer. If you don't want the plant to self seed, you could deadhead after flowering. Grows best in full sun or part shade, and will bloom from early summer through to autumn. Grows to 50 cm tall and wide, and loves a handful of compost around its base in the springtime.
