Veronica beccabunga, commonly known as Brooklime, is a beautiful native UK marginal pond plant that produces clusters of small blue flowers from late spring through summer.
Naturally found along streams, pond edges, and wetland habitats, Brooklime is an excellent choice for wildlife ponds and natural planting schemes. Its spreading growth habit helps soften pond margins while providing valuable shelter and habitat for aquatic insects and amphibians.
Easy to grow and highly adaptable, this hardy perennial thrives in shallow water and damp soils, making it perfect for pond edges, bog gardens, and natural water features.
