Noteworthy Characteristics

 

Veronica austriaca, commonly called saw-leaved speedwell, Austrian speedwell or Hungarian speedwell, is a compact, mound-forming plant with upright to sprawling stems. It is native to Europe and eastern Asia. It features axillary racemes of blue flowers in spring on mounding to sprawling plants clad with toothed oblong green leaves. Flowers bloom from late spring to early summer.

 

Subsp. teucrium has narrow, ovate to oblong, entire to toothed, medium to dark green leaves (to 1.5” long) resemble the leaves of germander, hence the subspecies name of teucrium (the genus of germander).

 

Genus name honors Saint Veronica who reportedly gave a handkerchief to Jesus so he could wipe sweat from his face on the way to Calvary, with some genus plants having markings that resemble the markings on the sacred handkerchief.

 

Specific epithet refers to Austria which is in its native range.

 

‘Royal Blue’ features short, dense, 2-4” long racemes of tiny, deep blue flowers (1/2” across) which appear in the upper leaf axils of upright flowering stems typically rising 12-18” tall.
