Veronica Longifolia also known as Speedwell, is known for its graceful and bountiful flowers. They are long-blooming, easy-care perennials that are prized for their distinctive vertical lines that they bring to the landscape. They have spiky flowers that come in shades of white, blue, purple, violet, or pink, and rise like slender wands. They grow in clumps and are nicely complemented by the foliage which is lance shaped. They have a blooming season that lasts from early Summer to late Summer, can be grown in either full sun or partial shade and will thrive in rich and moist soils, and will grow between 2 – 4 feet tall. These showy flowers will attract a wide variety of pollinators to your garden such as Hummingbirds, Butterflies, and Bees while being resistant to Deer and Rabbits. These make great cut flowers, do well in beds and borders in the garden, can be used for edging, and also act as a groundcover. Another great feature of this plant is that it is easy to grow, which is great for the beginning gardener!

I urge anyone buying seed to do their homework on germination, I have not raised and cannot raise many of these plants as I am sub-tropics here in St Augustine, Florida. All seed are NOT alike! There are so many different factors in germination and not doing a search is throwing your money away. I want everyone to be successful when growing your flowers from seed it is the most rewarding experience in Gardening and you can do it, if you give the seed what it needs to grow. I always check 3 sites of info to choose how I will go about it. It is not hard to do, if you do it right!
SEED GERMINATION TIP!!!!!!!
ONLY GERMINATE A SMALL PORTION AT A TIME.
DON'T PUT ALL YOUR MONKEYS IN A BARREL.
Good Luck and Happy Planting!!!!
