Description
Germander Speedwell 9cm Pot Plants Veronica chamaedrys
Common names include birdseye speedwell.
Germander speedwell is a charming native perennial that carpets the ground with bright green foliage and vivid, eye-catching blue flowers from April to June. It brings early-season colour to meadows, grassy verges, and woodland edges, while providing an important nectar source for early bees and other pollinators. Its low, creeping habit makes it perfect for naturalising in lawns, wildflower meadows, and other naturalistic plantings.
Thriving in a variety of soils and preferring sunny to lightly shaded positions, germander speedwell is ideal for pollinator-friendly gardens, species-rich grasslands, and informal naturalistic schemes. Its dense mat of foliage also provides cover and habitat for small wildlife, supporting garden biodiversity.
Sourced from native seed and grown in the UK, our 9cm pot plants are an ideal way to enhance your wildflower meadow or establish resilient plants in your garden or areas where seed germination can be unpredictable.
For the best results, we recommend planting 3 plants per square metre, grouping at least 3 of each species together to achieve a natural, flourishing look.
