Veronica chamaedrys L.
Veronica chamaedrys
Veronica chamaedrys is a herbaceous perennial plant known for its deep blue flowers with a zygomorphic corolla. It grows up to 20 cm tall but is often shorter, with hairy stems only along two opposite sides. The leaves are triangular and crenate, arranged in opposite pairs, and the plant spreads by sending down roots at the stem nodes. It is known for its quick wilting upon picking, earning it the name 'Männertreu' in German.
