Eveline Veronica

Hello Dug Out,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Eveline Veronica! We're delighted to hear that its long blooming period and vibrant purple flowers have made such a lovely addition to your low maintenance planting area. These plants truly bring beautiful color with minimal upkeep, making them a favorite for many gardeners who want a burst of stunning blooms without extra effort.

To keep your Eveline Veronicas thriving and blooming longer, make sure they receive about 6 hours of sunlight daily and that the soil is well-drained. Occasional deadheading can encourage continued flowering, and a light feeding in spring with a balanced fertilizer can help maintain their vibrant look throughout the season.

Hello Robbi,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with the Eveline Veronica! It’s wonderful to hear how well it holds up in your zone 5 climate—and particularly great that deer aren’t posing a problem for you. Your observation about it looking a bit weedy after the first flush of blooms is spot on; this is a common stage for Veronicas as older foliage can dull their overall appearance.

A helpful tip is to try a light trim or shear after flowering – cutting back the spent blooms and any leggy growth can encourage a tidier look and often promotes a second burst of flowering later in the season. Also, removing additional weeds when they start to show can keep your bed looking fresh overall.

If you’re interested, we have some care guides on Veronicas that provide detailed pruning schedules and landscape ideas that might assist with keeping your garden looking vibrant.

Wishing you happy planting,

Hi Robbi,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Eveline Veronica! We’re thrilled to hear it’s performing well in your zone 5 garden and holding up to the weather—and especially happy to hear the deer stay away, too. It’s wonderful that it’s blooming beautifully for you!

We understand your concern about the plant looking a bit weedy after the first flush of blooms. This can be a common occurrence with Veronicas as old flower stems and foliage age. To help keep the plant looking fresh and encourage a second bloom, we recommend “deadheading” the spent flowers by cutting them back to the nearest healthy leafy stem. Additionally, a light trim or a careful shaping can revitalize the plant’s appearance.

If the plant gets very dense further into the season, occasional thinning can promote better air circulation and reduce those leggier, weedy looks. You might also consider mulching around the base to help suppress weeds and retain moisture.

We’re delighted you've found an evergreen stand-out that fits well into your garden’s ecosystem! If you ever need more tips or would like suggestions for companion plants that complement Eveline Veronica in your zone 5 garden, we’re just a message away.
