Veronica
Varieties
Spiked Speedwell (Veronica Spicata)
My favorite so far. Planted at the bottom of the slope, but they are too tall. Move to the back of the slope in early spring 2024.
Speedwell (Veronica teucrium Royal Blue)
More mounding habit, 18", planted at the top of the slope in 2023, didn't do much. Let's see what happens in 2024.
Propagation
Lift and divide the plants every three or four years in the early spring or early fall. This will keep the plants vigorous, and the outer portions can be replanted. Take your divisions from the outer edges of the plant. They are more likely to root than the inner parts of the plant.
Other Varieties to Try
