The genus Veronica is represented by over 450 species that are perfect for growing in a perennial bed, in a rock garden, as well as on the shores of a pond. In short: the speedwell is a thoroughly universal plant.
Tall species, such as the long-leaved speedwell and the speedway rot perform very well in plantings with daylilies, common loosestrife and tall bells.Low-growing species, such as the spike, hill (pictured) and bitterness species perform very well in rock gardens and in plantings surrounding the bed.
Growth form of the speedwell
The virginian speedwell grows between 100 and 200 cm in height and blooms from July to September, producing elegant pink, white or bluish-white inflorescences. The long-leaf transducer is slightly lower, as it reaches a height of 60 to 120 cm.
However, in terms of the abundance of flowering, it is in no way inferior to the tall forms. It blooms white or blue from July to August.The same coloration also distinguishes the gentian speedwell, which blooms from May to June on shoots growing up to 60 cm high.
Only half of this height is reached by the hill roller. Its blue flowers last from May to June. Immediately after it, from June to August, the spherical rotator blooms with blue, white, purple, pink and red flowers.
Stand for the speed controller
All species like warm, sunny locations. Tall forms require wetter and more fertile soil than low species.
Conveyor - care
Tall pulleys may need to be staked, and in spring and autumn they should be supplied with plenty of compost.Faded inflorescences of speedwell are removed on an ongoing basis in all forms, regardless of their height.
