I got a Veronica 'Atomic Lavender' this week at Lowe's that was marked down. It had been broken, maybe dropped upside down or something, but I think it will survive. There was a whole table full of the same plants that wasn't marked down and they were quite pretty.
I don't know much about Veronica. After this summer, I'm hoping they are heat and drought tolerant.

I looked on Google. There are other colors besides violet and lavender in the atomic series but I didn't find much info beyond that.

Mine was also bought at Lowes and it was very dry with some black leaves. I soaked it overnight and then have watered regularly. It has started regrowing and looks pretty good right now. I hope yours does well also.
