Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Plantaginaceae
Plant Description: A larger-statured, upright speedwell with spikes of light purple blooms, great for adding height and spiky contrast to your garden. As with other veronicas, ‘Lavender Lightsaber’ blooms for a long time with ease and makes great cut flowers. The handsome green foliage grows in neat clumps and fits perfectly into narrower borders.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
