Variety traits

Winter Hardiness of Veronica

Veronica L.

Veronica is characterized by high frost resistance, corresponding to USDA zones 3–8, which allows the crop to overwinter in the conditions of Central Russia and Siberia without special cover.

In the reference 10 varieties crop Speedwell, where this is mentioned in the description.

No specialized agronomic methods for the quantitative measurement of winter hardiness have been developed for the genus Veronica L. Resistance to winter conditions is determined primarily through classification by USDA hardiness zones, with most species successfully enduring low temperatures due to the annual dieback of the aerial parts and the preservation of subterranean buds.

The high winter hardiness of the crop allows the plants to overwinter without additional cover. The primary risk for Veronica during the winter period is not low temperatures, but rather poor agricultural practices, in particular water stagnation, which contributes to the rotting of the root system.
