I bought this plant on impulse. Another customer was getting one & she said she had good luck with the ones she already had in her gardens. The silly thing didn't have a name, but I adopted her & she apparently likes her new home. But what's her name? Anyone know?

Another name: Veronica. I have some, but it sure doesn't look that good. Big Grin

My white doesn't do nearly as well as the blue either. Good buy SSTR because it's a perennial and should do great in your courtyard. Since you like blue, go get yourself a blue one too.

Thank you, ladies! Now I can call her by name when I tell her how lovely she is.

I'm bringing this gal back up to the top. She bloomed her heart out throughout the summer/fall. I'm definitely going to get another one come spring. I'll look for a blue one too Vera. (& hopefully this white one will return since she's a perennial.)

SSTR - mine return, and you are definitely in a warmer zone. Your veronica should return with no problems.
