I purchased 2 Veronica plants last year, one is Eveline, the other looks like a Royal Candles I have seen but much taller. Any idea which name for this one.

| 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. SBB from last year: Kevin |

| 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. Annette |

| 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. |
