New flowers are showing themselves in my garden this Monday. It seems only appropriate then to share them In a Vase on Monday, the wonderful idea hosted by Cathy at Rambling in the Garden.
This week marked the opening of Tete-a-tete daffodils and Veronica peducularis ‘Georgia Blue,’ and these small, delicate flowers are paired in a small vase. They are backed by boxwood and arborvitae greenery.
The ‘Georgia Blue’ veronica is a creeping variety which spreads nicely (and politely), and it blooms early with this lovely pale lavender color. It makes a very nice evergreen ground cover at the edge of a border.
Please visit Cathy at Rambling in the Garden to see what she and others are sharing from their gardens this Monday.
Pretty! My Georgia Blue is just starting to bloom too.

Do you also grow ‘Waterperry’ creeping veronica? I don’t find it readily in local garden centers but I like it. It has a lighter color, otherwise they look the same in the garden.

Lovely to be enjoying Narcissus arleady; I just noticed the first shoots of some of mine coming through but it will be a while before they flower.

Your tete a tete flower earlier than mine do John, not surprisingly. They look so uplifting with the veronica – I need to investigate it.

Thanks, Julie. You may also want to look into creeping veronica ‘Waterperry.’ Looks/acts the same but has a lighter color blossom…only several weeks later.

Thank you for introducing me to a new plant; blue is my favourite colour in the garden and there isn’t much of it around in winter and early spring. I suspect this would more likely bloom in March here in the UK if it’s flowering at the same time as Narcissus, but I do think I will have to get some.

I hope you will be able to find it.

Oh how wonderful to see your spring flowers appearing – and your well behaved veronica is a very ladylike partner for the Tete a Tete. Thanks for sharing

A gorgeous little veronica, and how well it goes with your Tete-á-Tete. Simple and effective!

I “discovered” the veronica when we moved to North Carolina some twenty years ago. I have been growing it ever since and it continues to brighten the approaching spring.
