New in the Nursery: Veronica 'Tidal Pool'

Bringing cool color to our nursery as summer heats up, Veronica 'Tidal Pool' is a recently-developed variety of Creeping Speedwell. Created by plant expert Dr. Jim Ault at the Chicago Botanic Garden, the violet-hued hybrid is an excellent choice for groundcover and edging. Resistant to drought and able to thrive in clay or sandy soils, this perennial blooms in spring and early summer. Veronica 'Tidal Pool' grows rapidly, providing dense foliage in shades of green and silver. In spring or fall, the sun-loving plants can be divided easily for transplanting across the garden. Prized for its brilliantly blue petals, we particularly love this hardy cultivar for filling empty spaces in rock gardens or between flagstones. 

Throughout the season, our plant team highlights their freshest additions to the garden with New in the Nursery. Check in at your local store to take home these newly-arrived blooms.
