Blue Skywalker Speedwell (Veronica)
Veronica (Speedwell) comes in a wide variety of heights for you to choose from—but they are all easy and undemanding to grow. These perennials prefer full sun and average, well–drained soil. Veronica plants are deer resistant, drought tolerant and attract hummingbirds and butterflies.
Blue Skywalker Speedwell has masses of beautiful spikes of brilliant blue flowers that bloom heavily from early to late summer. Enjoy the flowers and attractive foliage from late spring to mid summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. It is a dense herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth with a fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants.
This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season's flowers. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats. It has no significant negative characteristics.
