#ProPlantTips For Care

For best results plant this Veronica in full sun. Eveline Speedwell must have good drainage and requires low to moderate watering. Add 3-4 inches of arborist mulch for moisture retention and insulation. Deadheading promotes more blooms, so keep it re-blooming by pruning off old flower spikes as they fade. New growth will begin and in a few weeks, new flower spikes will emerge. In late autumn, once the foliage dies back after frost, you can prune the mound to remove excess debris.

Regular Moisture Needs

Veronica

The Veronica has its good points and bad. I am in zone 5 and it stands up very well to the weather. I hardly have to water it. The deer do not seem to like it. Flowers beautifully. Biggest problem I have is it gets weedy looking after the first flush of blooms.

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,
The Nature Hills Plant Experts

Veronica

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.
