Title: Veronica filiformis
Post by: ideasguy on February 09, 2009, 02:51:54 PM

Anyone ever grown Veronica filiformis  ?

I came across it today on the habitas website:
http://www.habitas.org.uk/gardenflora/veronica_filiformis.htm

I'm very fond of the Veronicas, and they do quite well in my garden. This might be a good addition.

Great link George.  8)

At first glance the petals reminded a little of the Geranium Rozanne 'Gerwat' plant that I featured on my Harlow Carr WPG (not the foliage though - quite different).

We have two Veronicas in our Rockery area in the rear garden - Veronica 'Mini Spires Blue' and Veronica prostrata 'Lilac Time'.

I don't have any photos of those yet to show.  It's on my list of photo projects this year for when we start getting our new blooms.

I agree though, lovely plants.

Laurie.

You choose your plants well, Kathy and Laurie!
They will be gorgeous! Looking forward to those photos (roll on summer!)
