Zone: 4VERY VAN GOGH SPEEDWELL
Veronica 'Very Van Gogh' is a sophisticated cultivar known for its exceptionally long, slender spikes of deep violet-blue flowers. Reaching about 18 to 24 inches in height, it is prized for its superior branching habit, which results in a bushier plant that produces more flower spikes per clump than many older selections. Its foliage is a handsome, dark green that provides a clean, refined base for the blooms, which emerge in early summer and continue to make a statement for weeks. Its sturdy, upright posture makes it a reliable choice for the middle of a perennial border, where it brings a rich, saturated color that holds up well against both hot summer sun and potential lodging.
Veronica 'Very Van Gogh' thrives in full sun to maintain its structural strength and maximize its impressive bloom production. It enjoys fertile, well-draining soil; avoid heavy, waterlogged sites, as these are highly likely to induce crown rot. Design-wise, 'Very Van Gogh' is perfect for the middle of the border, where its height creates a nice bridge between lower edging plants and taller shrubs or grasses.

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.
