Veronica Aspire

About Veronica Aspire

This petite charmer with its upright bushy habit turns up the volume with countless, long-blooming, deep rose-pink flower spikes – full and enticing! Enjoy this fuss-free butterfly magnet all summer! Very hardy – worth a try in zone 3.
Classic Veronica spikes add vertical accent to the perennial border. Veronica Aspire™ is happy with any well-drained soil in full to part sun. Long lasting and carefree.
An outstanding hybrid Speedwell that forms a bushy, compact, upright clump of dark-green leaves, bearing upright wands of deep rose flower spikes throughout the summer. Removing faded spikes will encourage more buds to form. Stems are excellent for cutting. More compact than other selections, so should not need to be staked. Likely hardy to Zone 3 or colder. Wonderful in borders, mixed containers or use as a small area ground cover. Introduced by Terra Nova Nurseries, Inc., Oregon. USPPP: unlicensed propagation prohibited.
