Easy and undemanding, some Veronicas are mats of saucer-shaped flowers, some have star or erect tight flower spikes. A few veronicas have blue flowers; while most are purple, violet blue, rosy pink, or white. Deadheading extends bloom season. Tolerant of a wide range of medium wet, well-drained soil types, plants perform best when grown in average, not rich, soil and full sun. PLANTING: Set 15 to 18 inches apart. Choose a location in full sun or light shade, where the soil is moderately fertile and well-drained. MAINTENANCE: Removing spent flower heads will prolong blooming period. Apply a balanced fertilizer in the spring, as growth commences. Plants may need dividing every 3 or 4 years, for renewal; do this in the spring or fall.
