Veronica longifolia ‘Very Van Gogh’


Speedwell

USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 1.541.030


A more compact selection of the Tall Speedwell, making a great display in the summer garden, and exceptional for cutting. Plants form a bushy, upright clump of bright green leaves, bearing long branching spikes of rosy-purple flowers throughout most of the summer months. Foliage may take on some red tones in fall. Good garden performer. Attractive to butterflies. Always a good idea to leave space between plants to provide for proper air circulation. An introduction from Walters Gardens, Inc., Michigan. USPP#27428: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
