veronica plant varieties
If you’re searching for a garden favourite that offers both dazzling colour and easy care, exploring veronica plant varieties is a must. These resilient perennials, known for their spires of vibrant blue, purple, pink, or white flowers, are perfect for New Zealand gardens of all shapes and sizes. Veronica plants, sometimes referred to as speedwells or hebes (for the shrubby types), thrive in a range of conditions and provide reliable blooms from late spring through autumn.
Brunfelsia pauciflora Scent sational (Yesterday Today Tomorrow Plant)
Brunfelsia Scent-Sational, commonly known as the Yesterday Today Tomorrow plant features masses of sweetly fragrant, pansy like flowers during spring and summer which literally coat the plant. Most interestingly though, the flowers open blue-violet, fade to lavender, then finally turn white. It grows as a rounded cushion of leathery, green leaves to about 1.2 m tall and 2 m wide. Brunfelsia Scent-Sational is commonly grown as an informal hedge, added to a mixed planting, planted around outdoor living areas, used in cottage gardens, or mass planted alongside a path or on a bank.
Chlorophytum comosum variegatum (Spider Plant)
Chlorophytum comosum Variegatum, commonly known as the Spider Plant, is a tender, herbaceous perennial grown for its lush and variegated foliage. It features short, bright green leaves with a cream margin as it grows to 20 cm tall and 30 cm wide. Chlorophytum comosum Variegatum is commonly grown indoors in a container though it can be grown outdoors in frost-free areas. In these situations, it is often included in borders, planted around outdoor living areas, mass planted as a groundcover, or planted alongside a path.
