Tips for Care:

Speedwell is an easy-to-grow herbaceous perennial that flowers best in full sun in well-drained soil locations. Ensure Veronica gets ample moisture throughout the growing season to keep blooming despite the heat. Cover the root system with 3-4 inches of arborist mulch for moisture retention and insulation. Deadhead the blooms as soon as they fade to encourage new blooms to form. Once the foliage dies back after frost you can prune the mound close to the ground.
