Purpleicious Veronica

Purpleicious Veronica (Veronica x hybrida 'Purpleicious') is a bold, densely flowering speedwell that earns its name with authority — producing striking, upright spikes of intensely saturated violet-purple blooms that rise above a compact, spreading mound of deep green foliage from late spring through midsummer. The vivid, jewel-toned color is among the most deeply pigmented in the Veronica world, creating a powerful focal point in the border that draws the eye from across the garden.

These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown with heritage practices, developing compact, fibrous root systems that establish quickly and spread to form a tidy, attractive mound. Purpleicious Veronica is a superb front-of-border perennial, equally effective in formal and cottage-style gardens, rock garden settings, mass plantings, and mixed patio containers. Its upright flower spikes provide essential vertical contrast among mounding perennials, and its long bloom season — extending well beyond most other speedwells when sheared back after the first flush — delivers outstanding seasonal color value from a single, low-maintenance plant.

• Intensely Saturated Violet-Purple Flower Spikes: Among the deepest, most richly pigmented of all Veronica varieties, Purpleicious delivers a stunning display of bold vertical color that pairs beautifully with soft pink, white, and silver companions for high-contrast border combinations throughout late spring and summer.
• Prolific Bloomer with Strong Rebloom Potential: Flowers freely from late spring through midsummer, then rebounds quickly after a light shearing for a reliable second flush of bloom in late summer — extending the color contribution of a single plant across the majority of the growing season.
• Premier Pollinator Plant: The dense, nectar-rich flower spikes are a magnet for bumblebees, native bees, honeybees, and butterflies throughout the bloom period — making Purpleicious Veronica one of the most ecologically productive front-of-border plants available for pollinator-focused garden designs.
• Compact, Tidy Habit for Borders & Containers: The well-behaved, mounding form holds its shape reliably without staking or aggressive spreading — ideal for front-of-border placement, formal edging, rock garden accents, and mixed container planting where a neat, structured appearance is desired.
• Cold Hardy, Long-Lived & Dependably Perennial: A tough, reliable perennial that returns season after season with consistent vigor across a wide range of climates, increasing in flowering density and garden presence with each passing year.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to light shade with moist, well-drained, fertile soil and regular watering. Moderate drought tolerance once established; avoid prolonged dry spells during the bloom period for best flower production. Hardy in USDA zones 4–8. Mature height in bloom: 18–22 inches; spread: 14–18 inches. Primary bloom time: May–July. Shear back by one-third after the first bloom flush to encourage vigorous rebloom in late summer and fall. Divide clumps every 3–4 years in spring to maintain vigor.
