PINK MARSHMALLOW SPEEDWELL
Veronica spicata 'Pink Marshmallow' is a sweet and striking cultivar, named for its soft, pastel pink flower spikes that have a uniquely dense, fluffy appearance. Reaching roughly 15 to 18 inches in height, it forms a neat, upright clump of clean, deep green foliage that makes the pale pink blooms pop with significant visual impact. These flower spikes emerge in early summer and offer a charming, vertical element that persists for weeks, attracting plenty of pollinators while resisting the tendency to sprawl. Its compact habit and soft color palette make it an excellent choice for cottage gardens, formal borders, or as a softening agent when planted alongside plants with more intense, saturated hues.
Veronica spicata 'Pink Marshmallow' thrives in full sun to maintain its sturdy stature and maximize bloom production. It enjoys well-draining, fertile soil; avoid heavy, waterlogged sites, as these are highly likely to induce crown rot. It is perfect for the front of the border or in mass drifts where its delicate color can be fully appreciated.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Position the plant in a location that matches its specific sunlight requirements. Ensure the soil is well-draining; avoid sites where water pools, as most varieties prefer consistent moisture rather than saturation. When watering, target the root zone rather than the foliage, and check that the top inch of soil is dry to the touch before hydrating again. Apply a 1-to-2-inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the mulch a few inches away from the crown to prevent rot. Finally, incorporate a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring if your soil needs the boost.
