Setup, Compatibility & Care
When your 9cm pots arrive, prepare the planting site by ensuring the soil is loose and well-draining. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and set the plant at the same depth it occupied in the nursery pot. Backfill with garden soil, firm down gently, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. This Veronica variety is highly compatible with sun-loving companions like Salvia, Sedum, and various perennial grasses. For long-term care, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring as growth begins. During the winter months, the plant will naturally die back to the ground; you can tidy up the border by trimming the spent foliage after the first hard frost.
