Baby pink flower spikes stand at attention atop the very short and compact, bushy mound of healthy green foliage from mid through late summer. The compact size of this variety makes it ideal for combination containers, edging sunny pathways, or the front of the landscape.
Veronica is tolerant of a wide range of medium wet, well-drained soil types. Plants are strongest when grown in average, not rich, soil and full sun. Amending very heavy and light soils types with organic matter will result in improved performance, as will as a light mulch and regular water during summer.
A dwarf Veronica perfect for the front of the border or in containers. Excellent as a border plant, ground cover, in mass plantings or along borders, in containers, for cut flowers and its salt tolerant. Attracts butterflies and Deer resistant. |
