Comparative Studies of Veronica and Veronicastrum Plant Evaluation Notes

Throughout spring and summer the spiky flowers of Veronica rise like sentinels in the
sunny garden. Speedwells can be long-lived provided that garden soils drain freely, which is especially important during winter months. A midsummer shearing after the first bloom encourages late summer flowering. Deadheading throughout the bloom cycle produces many new, spikes later in the season.
