Silver Speedwell
Veronica
Speedwell
According to legend, Saint Veronica used her handkerchief to soothe Christ’s brow, and forever after, it bore markings that are supposedly replicated in these long blooming Speedwell flowers. Flourishing in sunny, well drained sites, our Veronica selections are undemanding, and deliver dazzling color to the summer border.
Veronica incana ‘Pure Silver’ (P-1861)
Each 10.00
Bees, butterflies and plant lovers arrive in droves to enjoy the tapering frosty tipped spires of tight-knit, vivid blue-violet flowers carried on branched leafy stems. Looking a bit like a Sage, the slender, toothed lance-shaped leaves create a tasteful, compact cool silver mass that is more tolerant of hot humid summers than other incana. An ideal low growing candidate for sharp-draining borders, pathway edging, walls or rock gardens, "Pure Silver" enhances companions such as Potentilla "Apricot Whisper" and Agastache "Firebird".
Blooms June–July
Size: 12" – 2' 0" high x 8" – 12" wide.
Hardy to zone 4.
