Tips from Fran
Veronica Waterperry Blue has got many fine qualities. Bronze foliage, drought tolerant and deep blue blooms make this one a show stopper in a container, rock wall or hot spot in your garden. It needs ample light or it will be thin and spindly. * ~It can work in dry shade and under trees and shrubs, but only if enough light filters through.
