Add height and steady colour with Veronica and Veronicastrum plants. Upright, long-flowering perennials that bring structure to borders with little fuss. Expertly selected favourites, delivered ready to plant.
Veronica and Veronicastrum plants are a smart way to add height, colour and a more "designed" feel to your bordersùwithout making things complicated. They produce upright flower spikes that give structure through summer, helping beds look fuller and more balanced. If you’re trying to stop a border looking flat, these are your go-to plants.
Veronica (speedwell) is great for the front and middle of borders, with tidy clumps and repeat-flowering colour that sits neatly among other perennials. Veronicastrum (Culver’s root) is the taller cousinùideal for the back of a border where you want graceful height and movement without flopping all over the place. Both mix brilliantly with grasses, roses and cottage-garden favourites, and they work just as well in modern planting schemes. They’re also a good choice for pollinator-friendly gardens, with flowers that bring in bees and other helpful insects.
Growing them is straightforward: plant in sun or light shade, in reasonably well-drained soil, and water well while they settle in. After flowering, a quick trim keeps things tidy, and the plants will come back strong the following year.
We’ve curated a range of popular Veronica and Veronicastrum varieties, chosen for reliable performance, garden-friendly growth and great colour. Pick your favourites, order in a few clicks, and we’ll deliver them straight to your doorùready to plant and ready to thrive.
