LAVENDER LIGHTSABER SPEEDWELL -

24-30 Inches Tall 18-24 Inches Wide--

Veronica 'Lavender Lightsaber' is a standout, tall speedwell that earns its name from its dramatic, sky-high spikes of lavender-purple blooms. It is prized for its exceptional verticality and vigorous, clump-forming habit, typically reaching 24 to 30 inches in height. Throughout the summer months, it produces a relentless supply of slender, tapering flower wands that stand elegantly above dense, glossy, dark green foliage. The blooms are not only aesthetically striking, providing a strong architectural element to the mid or back of a perennial border, but they are also magnets for bees, butterflies, and other essential pollinators. Its reliable performance and disease resistance make it a top-tier choice for gardeners seeking a high-impact, long-blooming perennial that maintains a clean, upright silhouette from spring through autumn.

To ensure 'Lavender Lightsaber' thrives, site 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 flower production. It prefers fertile, moist, and well-draining soil, so avoid heavy clay sites that hold excessive water, as this can lead to crown rot. While it is notably resistant to powdery mildew, providing adequate spacing for airflow remains a best practice.
