About This Plant
Veronica oltensis (Thyme Leaf Speedwell), 'Thyme Leaf Speedwell', is valued in PNW gardens for its character and seasonal interest.
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 plant of similar character, consider Aquilegia formosa (Western Red Columbine), Holodiscus discolor (Oceanspray), or Mahonia aquifolium (Tall Oregon Grape) , all support native pollinators and birds.
