Notes
'Pavane' spiked speedwell (Veronica spicata 'Pavane') is a perennial for borders, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and average to moist, loamy soil. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything. It forms a clumping mound of pink flower spikes from early to late summer. Butterflies and bees visit the blooms.
Pairs well with Paris coral bells, Hummelo betony, Gladiator ornamental onion, and Apricotta cosmos.
