Veronica ‘Ronica Blue’


Speedwell

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.540.820


Speedwell is a carefree and easy-to-grow perennial. This selection is compact yet vigorous and features masses of long, bright blue, flower spikes over a mound of healthy, fresh green leaves. Blooming begins in late spring and re-blooming will occur in the fall if you cut back midsummer. Terrific for cutting. Removing faded spikes will encourage more buds to form. Great near the edge of a sunny border, or in mixed containers. Easy and colourful. Attractive to hummingbirds and butterflies. Good resistance to powdery mildew and rust.
