There are so many cultivars of veronica, and they tend to look the same. What I don't think it is Sunny Border Blue, as the flower spikes of yours are long and graceful (SBB tend to be shorter and stubby-ish), and the leaves are different. I also don't think it's Lavender Charm, as the flower color LC is just that - lavender. Whatever it is, it sure is gorgeous! The color looks great with the Eveline, too :0)

It's not Sunny Border Blue. The leaves are wider and totally different. My SBB is currently 2 feet high and it hasn't even started blooming yet. Not sure why it got so large this year.

But I agree, you're probably going to have a hard time ID ing this one since there are so many. And by the way, thanks for posting a photo of Eveline. I just got that one this spring, so it's nice to see what it's going to look like. Both are beautiful.

Kevin: Your SBB is the exception to what I've seen, your flowers aren't stubby. None of the SBB I've seen IRL have ever had long, graceful, tapered blooms, including the ones I had many (many many) years ago. Maybe you got lucky and got a mutant :0)

Atomic Blue? it's in the 16-18" range.

The color is certainly Atomic. I did not realize how many different Veronica plants there were. Thanks for everyones help. Think this one came off a late season sale rack for a buck.
