Veronica gentianoides 'Tissington White'

Veronica are a group of plants found in the Plantain family, Plantaginaceae. They are typically herbaceous annual or perennial plants, although they now recently include shrubs and sub-shrubs since the reclassification of the genus Hebe into Veronica. Most plants are native to territories in the northern hemisphere, however Hebe is originally native to New Zealand. Veronica plants tend to have paired green leaves, and small flowers usually on spikes or racemes. Specifically, Veronica gentianoides is a herbaceous perennial which has glossy green foliage, and produces tall spikes of pale blue flowers in early Summer. 'Tissington White' has spikes of white flowers which have a slight tinge of blue.
