Re: veronica recommendations?

Beth, Veronica Sunny Border Blue and V. Goodness Grows are both very long
blooming.  The latter is a low to the ground version of the former and
blooms for even a longer period--starts late June or early July and doesn't
quit until hard freeze.  Good navy blue color too, and tolerates damn near
any kind of soil.
