Veronica spicata 'Giles Van Hees'

Some perennials may not have the flash of popular summer annuals such as petunias and calibrachoas, but what they lack in flamboyance, they make up for in their dependability and low maintenance. 'Giles Van Hees' speedwell is such a specimen, staying low and tidy throughout the summer. Delicate-looking stalks of deep pink flowers top the green, lance-shaped foliage. Perfect for front-of-border displays when planted en masse, it can also be popped into smaller hanging baskets and container planters for a bit of vertical interest. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage new flowers, and the spikes of pink are adorable in small bouquets.
