PURPLEICIOUS SPEEDWELL
Veronica 'Purpleicious' is a show-stopping perennial valued for its exceptionally vivid, deep purple flower spikes that command attention in the mid-summer garden. Reaching approximately 12 to 15 inches in height, it features a sturdy, upright habit that resists lodging, even when heavy with blooms. Its foliage is a rich, dark green, providing a perfect contrast to the intense, long-blooming flower spikes that emerge in early summer and can often repeat later in the season if deadheaded. Its architectural presence and ability to maintain a neat, compact clump make it an ideal choice for the middle of a perennial border, where its saturated color serves as an anchor for softer, pastel-toned neighbors.
To ensure 'Purpleicious' thrives, position it in a location that receives full sun, as it needs at least 6 to 8 hours of direct light daily to maintain its structural strength and maximize its intense floral display. It performs best in fertile, well-draining soil; avoid planting it in heavy, clay-based sites that hold excessive moisture, as this can lead to crown rot. 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 plant's crown to prevent rot.
