Nettle-leaf speedwell
Veronica urticifolia
Nettle-leaf speedwell is a charming shade-tolerant perennial that produces delicate blue flower spikes in late spring and early summer. Plant it in a partially shaded border or woodland garden with consistently moist, well-drained soil for best results. It requires very little attention once established — a light trim after flowering encourages a tidy habit.
