Veronica montana ‘Corinne Tremaine’
Mountain Speedwell |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.540.600
The low forms of Speedwell are all useful towards the front of the border, on in the rock garden, valued for a late spring and early summer display of flowers. This unusual British introduction has boldly variegated foliage, green with splashes of white and creamy-yellow along the margins. Plants form a spreading mound, bearing short airy spikes of blue flowers. A nice choice for edging, and especially great in alpine troughs or other large containers. Trim plants lightly after flowering is finished.
