#ProPlantTips For Care
Also known as Speedwell, these are extremely easy to care for and very low-maintenance. Veronica just needs full sun and well-drained soil, and it's good to go. If it's extra hot out or hasn't rained in a while, you can water it, but it does well without a lot of fuss! Top off the root system with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch for moisture retention and insulation. To keep the flower show from slowing down, you can deadhead your Moody Blues® Dark Blue Veronica to encourage new blooms. Once the foliage dies back after frost, you can prune the mound.
