Veronica formosa
Veronica formosa is a flowering plant species of the family Plantaginaceae, endemic to Tasmania in Australia. It is a subshrub which grows to between 0.5 and 2 metres (1.6 and 6.6 ft) high. The elliptic to lanceolate leaves are 7 to 15 mm long. The flowers are pale lilac or violet blue and appear in racemes from late spring to early summer.
Plants may be grown in shade, but a position in full sun is desirable to maximise flowering. They are frost tolerant, being hardy to −7 °C (19 °F). A compact shape can be maintained by cutting back old stems after flowering.
