Veronica spicata Ulster Blue Dwarf is a compact, neat perennial with slender spires of soft blue flowers that bloom from early to midsummer. The upright flower spikes rise above tidy green foliage, bringing structure, colour and a fresh, natural feel to borders. Its small size makes it ideal for the front of borders, pots, rockeries and mixed perennial planting. Ulster Blue Dwarf is reliably long flowering, attractive to bees and blends beautifully with grasses, salvias and other airy summer perennials.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
