Veronica Bedding Plantings

Veronica L.

The use of Veronica in flower beds is based on selecting cultivars according to their habit: vertical species serve as accents, while low-growing ones act as ground-covering elements for borders.

In the reference 11 varieties crop Speedwell, where this is mentioned in the description.

Vertical species of Veronica, such as Veronica spicata and Veronica longifolia, possess sturdy stems that are resistant to lodging, which allows them to be used as vertical accents without the need for staking. Low-growing species, including Veronica prostrata, are used to fill the foreground of flower beds and create decorative borders.

The agronomy of Veronica in group plantings involves placement in well-lit areas with well-drained soils. To maintain the aesthetic appeal of the flower bed throughout the season, deadheading is practiced, which stimulates repeat flowering of the crop.
