Notes
'Glory' spiked speedwell (Veronica spicata 'Glory') is a perennial for borders, cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and cottage gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits. It forms a clumping mound that stays 9 to 12 inches tall. Deep blue-purple flower spikes appear from early to late summer and draw butterflies and bees.
Pairs well with August Moon hosta, Many Happy Returns peony, and Blonde Ambition blue grama.
