Veronica Vernique Raspberry

A Bloomin’ Easy variety, Veronica Vernique Raspberry is an herbaceous perennial offering late spring through summer interest. Blooming continuously and abundantly throughout summer, the plant sets tall, full flower spikes dense with bright raspberry-pink blossoms. Nectar-rich, the flowers are irresistible to butterflies and hummingbirds; extremely showy, they are superb cut flowers for summer bouquets.

A Veronica longifolia, commonly called speedwell, Vernique Raspberry has a compact, upright, mounding habit and a moderate growth rate. Shown to best effect massed or grouped, Veronica Vernique Raspberry is a great garden or container plant and makes great edging.

Cold hardy, low maintenance, and easy to grow, speedwell prefers a sunny to partially sunny location with average, evenly moist, well-draining soil and thrives in rich loams. It tolerates light shade and is mildew, deer, and rabbit resistant. Deadheading faded flowers promotes additional blooms. Fertilize yearly in spring.
