What Makes Veronica Plant Varieties Special?

The diversity within veronica plant varieties sets them apart. Whether you’re after a compact groundcover for the front of borders, a shrub for structure, or something in between, there’s a veronica for you. Their nectar-rich flowers not only bring gorgeous hues to your garden but also attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators—making veronicas an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardeners.

Top Veronica Plant Varieties for New Zealand Gardens

With so many spectacular choices, it can be tricky to narrow down the best veronica plant varieties for your space. Here are some of the top picks you’ll find in our range:

Veronica penduncularis Oxford Blue (Creeping Speedwell)

Renowned for its intense sky-blue blooms and lush mat-forming foliage, Veronica penduncularis Oxford Blue (Creeping Speedwell) is a standout groundcover. Ideal for filling gaps in borders or cascading over retaining walls, it flowers prolifically in spring and early summer.

Hebe traversii (Veronica traversii)

One of the most resilient and adaptable veronica plant varieties, Hebe traversii (Veronica traversii) suits coastal locations and exposed sites. Its dense foliage and upright habit make it an excellent option for informal hedging or as a structural accent in mixed beds.

Veronica perfoliata (Digger's Speedwell)

For dramatic, silvery foliage and spikes of violet-blue flowers, Veronica perfoliata (Digger's Speedwell) is hard to beat. Native to Australia but perfectly suited to New Zealand gardens, this variety adds striking texture to gravel gardens, sunny borders, and contemporary planting schemes.

Hebe Townsonii (Veronica townsonii)

Compact and bushy, Hebe Townsonii (Veronica townsonii) is perfect for smaller spaces or containers. Its neat form, glossy green leaves, and white flower heads bring year-round interest and structure.

Hebe annulata (Veronica annulata)

If you’re after lush, glossy foliage and spikes of white to mauve flowers, Hebe annulata (Veronica annulata) is a fantastic choice. This adaptable variety copes well with both sun and partial shade, thriving in garden beds or as a low hedge.

How to Grow and Care for Veronica Plant Varieties

Most veronica plant varieties are easy to grow. Choose well-drained soil in a sunny or lightly shaded spot and water regularly while establishing. Once mature, veronicas are relatively drought-tolerant and require minimal maintenance. Tidy up any spent flower spikes and trim back after flowering to promote denser growth. With a little care, these dependable perennials and shrubs will reward you with vivid colour and year-round greenery.

Explore our range to find the veronica plant varieties that will thrive in your garden, and enjoy a season full of vibrant colour and texture.
