Plant Features
Enjoy the winning combination of purple set against dark green with the Purpleicious Veronica. The glossy, healthy foliage is lance-shaped and provides a wonderful dramatic contrast to the intensely purple spikes of blooms. Speedwell plants are easy to grow and provide color over several months. They perform best in full to part sun with well-drained soil. Veronica is very attractive to pollinators like butterflies, bees and hummingbirds, and make beautiful cut flowers.
