Cultivation: Plant in partial shade in well drained soil. Veronica will grow well in poor soils. Veronicas with furry leaves dislike having wet feet while dormant. An excellent choice for rock gardens.

Propagation:
Seed can be started in a cold frame or greenhouse in fall and held until the next growing season. Since most of us are unable to do this your best bet is to purchase pre-started plants at your local Garden Center. Once established plants can be divided in spring or fall.

Potential pests ~ diseases:
Mildews.
