Veronica spicata is an evergreen perennial that features small flowers. The foliage is a combination of green and silver, with leaves that are oval to lance-shaped and grow in loose bunches. It blooms from spring through early summer and attracts beneficial insects like bees and butterflies.

There are several reasons why you should consider growing Veronica spicata in your garden or landscape. Firstly, it is low-maintenance and easy to care for—you don’t need any special gardening skills or experience to grow this plant successfully! Secondly, it adds texture and colour to your outdoor space: the bright flowers look beautiful when planted alongside other perennials, such as black-eyed Susans and daisies. Lastly, Veronica spicata is excellent for erosion control, as it has an extensive root system that provides stability to the soil.

To ensure your Veronica spicata thrives, you need to provide it with the proper care and attention. Plant it in well-draining soil in a sunny spot (at least 6 hours of sunlight per day), and water at least once a week during dry periods. Make sure you deadhead spent flowers regularly to encourage new blooms and trim back any foliage that looks scraggly or overgrown. Fertilise monthly with a balanced fertiliser to promote healthy growth. Finally, cover the plant in mulch or straw during cold winter months
