BROOKLIME Veronica beccabunga L.

Y Drefn-y-Bech

A robust perennial plant that can be seen all year round. Provides bright blue flowers on spikes. It can be found in most substrates in a wide range of wetland habitats including shallow water by rivers, streams and ponds, ditches, marshy hollows in pastures, flushes, wet woodland rides and rutted tracks. It particularly likes open habitats and doesn't compete well in stands of taller plants. Useful as an edging plant on ponds as it produces fleshy green foliage.

Provides important cover for tadpoles and sticklebacks

Height: 30cm
