Introducing Veronica bellidioides to the garden: a compact alpine treasure from the high mountains of central and southern Europe. This tidy, evergreen perennial forms low rosettes of dark green foliage, perfect for crevices, troughs, and the front of rock garden borders. In late spring, the rosettes are topped with spikes of vivid violet-blue flowers, creating a jewel-like display that brightens any alpine setting. If like the look of some of the alpine Phacelia but not the fuss, try this one.
Native to rocky, well-drained slopes and exposed sunny sites, V. bellidioides thrives where other plants struggle, making it an ideal choice for gardeners seeking resilient, low-maintenance alpine charm. Hardy to at least USDA Zone 4, it tolerates cold, drought, and challenging soils while forming slowly spreading mats that edge paths, soften stone walls, or fill crevices with evergreen texture.
A perfect introduction for collectors and alpine enthusiasts alike, Veronica bellidioides brings structure, early-season color, and a touch of high-mountain elegance to any rock garden or trough.
