Sunny Border Blue Speedwell
Veronica 'Sunny Border Blue'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Scrophulariaceae
Plant Description: Showy clump-forming perennial. Dark-green, lance-shaped leaves have a wrinkled appearance. Tall spikes of violet blue flowers appear in late-spring and last through the summer. Removing spent blooms will promote additional flowering. Makes a great cut-flower. Grow in average, well-drained soils.
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.
