Veronica 'Pink Potion' PP29681 CPBR5821

MAGIC SHOW® Collection

Common Name: Spike Speedwell

'Pink Potion' produces baby pink flowers that cover the top half of the plant, a great match to ‘Wizard of Ahhs’ in terms of habit and landscape performance. The deep green foliage forms a rounded, low habit that is wider than typical and packed full of flowers.

Growers will appreciate the vigorous growth rate on this Veronica, quickly filling a pot at the same pace as the other members of the MAGIC SHOW® Collection. ‘Pink Potion’ does require vernalization to bloom.

This is an improvement over ‘Sweet Lullaby’ in the Proven Winners® perennial lineup.

Veronica is highly valued for its ease of growth and long bloom time. The spiky flowers are an excellent contrast to the more common rounded flower shapes like Shasta Daisies, Coneflower, and Black Eyed Susans. Expect bees to be buzzing about this plant when in bloom.

This perennial is tolerant of a wide range of well-drained soil types. Amending soils, especially very heavy and light types, with generous amounts of organic matter will result in improved performance. Although tolerant of partial shade, it will flower better in full sun. Deadheading will promote additional blooms. Shear back the foliage if it becomes worn-looking after flowering.
