One of our favorites is 'Sunny Border Blue' , the "perennial plant of the year" for 1993. Veronicas are among the most trouble-free and long-blooming of all perennials. These lush, uniform, mound-shaped plants (18" - 24" tall) are covered with long flower spikes and rich, glossy, dark green foliage. They bloom all season long (April till frost) in full sun or light shade. 'Red Fox' (rosy pink) , 'Icicle' (white) and ‘Blue Charm’ (light blue) are also excellent.
