VERONICA(Speedwell) Zone 4
Popular for a border or informal garden, Veronica comes in a wide range of flower colours and shapes. Often on spikes, sometimes in clusters, the flowers have the characteristic two stamens that show on the face. A showy plant in borders and beds, low-growing varieties look great in rockeries

Mona Lisa Smile Producing paintbrush-like, long spikes of rosy purple flowers. This is one of the first speedwell to flower, starting about two weeks earlier than 'Very Van Gogh'. Its flowers cover most of the terrific, rounded habit. Rose-purple Green June-August 22-24” high 20” spread

Attractive flowers cover the top ½ of the plant, showing off its healthy medium green leaves on a beautifully rounded habit. This medium-height Veronica would be perfect for the middle of the border. Pair this bicolor beauty with ‘Royal Rembrandt’. Pink Green June-August 22-26” high 22” spread
Royal Rembrandt This variety equally showcases attractive paintbrush-like flowers and healthy foliage. Violet purple flowers cover the top half of the plant, showcasing its dark green foliage. Remontant is a term typically used for roses, but it applies to this Veronica as well—you can expect additional blooming power later in the season if the flowers are sheered back.
