Description
Stately lavender-blue spires add lovely texture to arrangements and garden landscapes. Each plant bears dozens of 20-30” stems with strong regrowth, making Veronica an excellent choice for a cut flower garden. The butterflies, bumblebees, and hummingbirds all love them, but luckily the deer don’t! Veronica prefers full sun and well-drained soil. This variety comes to us from our friends at Wild Garden Seeds. Perennial.
