Is Veronica Georgia blue invasive?

Veronica Georgia Blue, also known as Georgia Blue Speedwell, is a hardy plant that grows well in zones 5 to 8. It is a versatile plant that can thrive in both full sun and partial shade conditions. One of the great things about this plant is that it grows vigorously and spreads through its creeping rootstocks. However, it is important to note that it is not considered aggressive or invasive.

While Veronica Georgia Blue can spread and fill in an area nicely, it generally stays within its designated growing area without taking over neighboring plants or areas. This makes it a great choice for those who want a plant that can fill in a bed or garden space without becoming a nuisance.

If you find that your Veronica Georgia Blue is starting to exceed its intended boundaries, it can be easily maintained by shearing it back. This will help keep it within the desired area and prevent it from encroaching on other plants or spaces. Regular pruning can also help promote a more compact and tidy appearance.

In my own experience, I have found Veronica Georgia Blue to be a reliable and well-behaved plant in my garden. It has filled in nicely in the areas where I have planted it, adding a beautiful splash of blue color to my landscape. I have not had any issues with it becoming invasive or taking over other plants.

To summarize, Veronica Georgia Blue is not considered invasive. It grows vigorously and can spread through its creeping rootstocks, but it is generally well-behaved and does not aggressively take over neighboring plants or areas. With regular maintenance and pruning, it can be easily contained within a designated bed or garden space.
