Veronica spicata 'Heidekind'

The speedwells are well known wild flowers in Britain and throughout Europe. Most are low, spreading plants. With spikes of small flowers along the stems. Each flower, blue in most species, is short-lived, but they open in succession, so give colour over an extended period.

Veronica spicata 'Heidekind' has flowers variously described as wine red and raspberry pink (aren't raspberries red?), so it might be hard to know what to expect of this plant. I would go with cerise. Whatever the flower colour, they come in a short spike (short enough to allow the plants into a rock garden or raised bed), and look great above the silvery grey leaves.
