VERONICA AUSTRIACA var. TEUCRIUM:  A beautiful but somewhat overlooked species, this plant produces racemes of pale to dark blue flowers in June and into July.  Foliage is dark green and maintains its color long after the blooms are finished.  Clumping in nature, the plants will form large mats over time.  Full sun and average soils seem to suit it best.  Seeds should be moist stratified for 3-4 weeks prior to planting in early April.  Cover the tiny seeds with just a light dusting of soil and keep moist.  Transplant out when of sufficient size.    100 seeds.    P655
