speedwell

Speedwell (Veronica 'Waterperry Blue') should be watered when the soil begins to feel slightly dry to the touch. This typically happens every 2-3 days, but may depend on soil type, humidity, and temperature. Make sure to check the soil moisture before watering - if it is still damp, wait a bit longer before adding more water. When watering, give the plant enough water to moisten the soil but avoid over-saturating it. The ideal way to water is to let water trickle slowly into the soil until it starts to pool and then stop. Too much water can cause the roots to rot, so be sure to avoid this.

Speedwell (Veronica 'Waterperry Blue') is a hardy plant that grows best in full sun, although it can tolerate some light shade. This plant should receive at least 4-5 hours of direct sunlight each day. For optimal growth and flowering, Speedwell should receive 8 or more hours of sunlight per day, preferably between 8:00 am and 8:00 pm. In areas with extreme heat, it is best to provide some afternoon shade to prevent the foliage from burning.

Speedwell (Veronica 'Waterperry Blue') should be lightly pruned each year in the late winter or early spring, just before the new growth begins. Pruning should be done to remove old, damaged, or dead branches and to maintain size or shape; pruning back more than 1-third of the plant should be avoided. It can also help to keep the plant from becoming overly dense. This will also reduce the risk of disease, promote strong growth, and encourage more vigorous flowering. If needed, pinch the tips of new growth to increase branching and encourage thicker, bushier growth. This plant will not require heavy pruning.
