Description
Veronica is a genus of flowering plants that includes over 500 species. Commonly known as speedwells, they are mostly perennial herbs that produce spikes or clusters of blue, pink, or white flowers. They have simple, narrow leaves and grow in a wide variety of habitats, from alpine meadows to woodland edges and even in water. Veronica species are a great addition to a garden as they attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Some popular cultivars of Veronica include 'Sunny Border Blue', 'Red Fox', and 'Royal Candles'. They make great companions to other perennials such as salvia, phlox, and echinacea. Veronica prefers full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil.
