Veronica spicata - First Love
A compact, cheerful speedwell, Veronica spicata ‘First Love’ forms neat mounds of rich, deep-green foliage topped with striking fluorescent-pink flower spikes that bloom from late spring into mid-summer and often extend longer with deadheading. Growing to just about 12–18″ (30–45 cm) tall and wide, it’s a perfect choice for small spaces, borders, containers, or rock gardens. Exceptionally low-maintenance, ‘First Love’ thrives in full sun to part shade in average, well-drained soil, resists deer and rabbit browsing, and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds.
