Veronica gentianoides

The Veronica is still looking good.

A great plant and dead easy from seed.

By the way, the same goes for the geums behind them in the photo and the delphiniums and oriental poppies that have just gone into my May album - all dead easy from seed!

People should sow more seeds!

That's a great combo, Rachel. Love the geums.

Did the Whitebush seeds I gave you do any good?

TheH (Hazel) 27 May 2011 21:55:44

Hmmm! My veronicas are not anywhere near flowering yet.....

Definitly will be trying more from seed from now on.

Rachel 27 May 2011 22:29:57

Thanks, Jacinta.

Fran, do you mean the Veronicastrum? I think I have two seedlings. Did yours come back after the winter?

fran m 27 May 2011 22:34:52

Rachel, yes I do. Will I ever stop mixing plants up. Veronicastrum is struggling but there is hope, and Bloom is next week, that's where I got it ;-))

Great, Tina :)

Did I give you them, Hazel? Not all mine have flowered this year either.

TheH (Hazel) 29 May 2011 20:45:39

Rachel - you gave me one when we met in Altamont and it is alive but not doing much! I got some more at Birr and they are a bit more advanced. I've never grown them before so I'm waiting with bated breath to see what happens next!
