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. 'Georgia Blue' is a newer introduction. Its
foliage turns reddish as colder weather moves in.
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. |
