PURE SILVER SPEEDWELL
Veronica spicata incana 'Pure Silver' is a distinctive and highly sought-after cultivar valued primarily for its stunning, silver-hued foliage. Unlike standard green-leaved speedwells, it features dense, woolly, lance-shaped leaves that maintain a striking silvery-grey color throughout the entire growing season. In mid-to-late summer, it produces attractive, deep blue flower spikes that contrast beautifully against the metallic, shimmering foliage. It typically reaches a height of 18 to 24 inches, forming a compact, uniform clump that adds texture and brightness to the garden, even when the plant is not in bloom. Its refined habit and eye-catching leaf color make it a perfect choice for the front of sunny borders, rock gardens, or as a contrasting element in mixed containers.
To ensure 'Pure Silver' thrives, position it in a location that receives full sun, as it requires at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily to maintain its silver coloration and compact, upright form. It is exceptionally adapted to well-draining, leaner soils and actually prefers conditions that are on the drier side. It is critical to avoid heavy, wet soils, as these will quickly lead to root and crown rot. When planting, apply a light layer of mulch around the base to suppress weeds, but be careful to keep it away from the plant's crown to ensure good air circulation.
