Plant Features
Attract the hummingbirds with the wonderfully delicate blooms of the Giles van Hees Veronica. This variety grows quite low to the ground with a height of only six inches, but the true impact comes with the tiny reddish-pink flowers that bloom profusely above the lance shaped foliage. Known to attract butterflies, removing spent flowers will increase flower production. Perfect for borders, containers, or in the rock garden!
