A plant with lovely strong red margins to the gently serrated margins. Rare in the wild. The flowers are amazing.
Image info: First bloom is a real species lilac, 2 is a true heliohebe or Veronica , 4 is Hagley cultivar, 5 is Lester's cultivar, 6 is lavaudiana, 7 is a Hokonui sourced cultivar. called raoulii. Fairfieldii is another one I have but are missing from the lineup. Any more out there? Small plants.
