About This Plant
Veronica longiolia 'Skyward Blue' (Speedwell), 'Skyward Blue', is valued for seasonal interest and the role it plays in PNW garden borders.
Speedwells (Veronica) are versatile perennials ranging from groundcover species to tall flower-spike forms in blue, purple, pink, or white.
Full sun to part shade suits this species. Plant in moist, well-drained soil. Hardy USDA Zone 3 to 9. Generally trouble-free. Pollinator-attractive.
For a Pacific Northwest native perennial of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Tellima grandiflora (Fringecups), or Dicentra formosa (Pacific Bleeding Heart) , all support native pollinators.
