Description

These small shrubs, formerly classified as veronicas, all originate from New Zealand. They have in common woody branches and thick, evergreen, leathery leaves, similar to those of boxwood. They have a rather slow growth habit and are categorised as perennial plants as their usage is more similar to that of perennials than bushes.

Small prostrate bush on the ground. The brown branches bear small round glaucous green leaves. The pink-lilac flowers, numerous and successive, bloom for a long period of time.

Planting and care

In our garden with heavy soil and a humid climate, they only have their place in the scree garden, gravel garden or sloping embankment. Environments that ensure them a rich but always well-drained soil. From their origins, they have retained a certain sensitivity to extreme cold.  In colder regions, it is necessary to protect them or cultivate them in pots, bringing them indoors during freezing periods. As they grow, a light pruning with hedge shears can be useful to maintain a dense and compact habit. An excellent groundcover for a sunny scree garden, among which you can plant some botanical tulips such as Tulipa linifolia.
