Cultivation:
Plant in full sun to partial shade in well drained soil.
"Creeping Veronica" grows well in poor soils. Veronicas
with furry leaves dislike having wet feet while dormant. A good
choice for planting in crevices of rock walkways.
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. |
