I think I was given this plant with some others and understood it was tall!!!......It sits happily at the back of an herbaceous border. It's far too pretty to stay there of course. It's only about 6" tall and a very pale lilac colour....but what IS it please?

I'd say it was Veronica gentianoides possible Tissington white. I have Tissington White in flower at the moment, the spike is about 12-18" tall though the foliage stays close to the ground. its a good plant.

I think it is a Veronica, possibly Veronica gentianoides?
