Based on the south coast of Hampshire, this is my second garden. Started as a blank canvas and now in its 2nd year.

Veronica hybrid 'Christy'

Yes it is pretty. But not sure it'll stay. Very floppy and it only flowers once or twice. #littlegarden troubles, not enough room.

Could the 'Chelsea chop' help the floppies? Worth a try before sending it off to the abattoir 😉 x

@clipperty tried it made it worse. Hehe. Not sure it'll go to the compost just out of this area....

@clipperty to be honest I have 3 veronicas in each of the beds as they are blue but disappointed in their year round interest. Which is what I need in these raised beds. Any ideas?

Could try caryopteris for the blue, or geranium 'Rosanne' or both! Xx

I like the look of the caryopteris! But too big for this space. May need to put in fence bed though. Never heard of it before. I'm going to need more space a time. 😂

Of the 3 Veronica 's I've tried so far this is my favourite. Loads of bloom. Later to flower but what a display now to see how they perform throughout the season. Which will earn their place? #littlegarden

Last of the Veronica to flowers but looking like by far the most prolific in flower stalks
