Veronica 'Romiley Purple' (Veronica)

This Veronica is meant to be purple - I would call it blue, really!

Thanks - I do like it, but why is it called that name, when it isn't purple??

Don't know but I'd be well pleased - the blue colour is lovely and there aren't enough blue flowers - there's plenty of purple. Too many purple flowers are called blue!

True.

well it is purple to me , but then blue is also purple to me . or is purple blue to me? oh I dont know but i do have a colourblind thing going on. i do like the 'colour' though.

Good. At least somebody thinks it's purple! Maybe the person who named it was also colour-blind, Sbg!

perhaps they were wearing sunglasses! some lense colours really distort the blues, according to my brother.

Blue or purple, it's a perfect partner for the eryngium? in front of it.
