speedwell

Speedwell (Veronica 'Midnight') enjoys regular watering, from once a week in the cooler winter months to twice a week during the hot summer months. When watering, make sure to give the plant a deep, thorough soak. Avoid frequent, light watering, as this can lead to root rot and other issues. Make sure to check the gran before and after watering, as the soil should be evenly moist, but not soggy. Consider allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, especially in the cooler months. If the plant is placed outdoors, natural rainfall may provide enough water that it does not require as much from you.

Speedwell (Veronica 'Midnight') is a plant species that thrives with at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Aim for 8 to 10 hours, or as much as possible. This species prefers direct sunlight and will do best when exposed to it during the morning and early afternoon hours. Avoid late afternoon and evening sun, as this can cause the plants to become stressed and scorch. During the winter months, the speedwell will need increased sun exposure; a south- or east-facing location is most preferable.

Veronica 'Midnight' is a versatile, low-maintenance semi-evergreen perennial with small, dark purple flowers. Pruning should be done every year to ensure a happy and healthy plant. In late winter or early spring, it is recommended to prune back all of the flower spikes and dead foliage on your Veronica 'Midnight' to just above the new leaf growth. When you’re done, your plant should have a much fuller and bushier look. This will ensure that new and healthy flowers bloom in the warm spring and summer months. It is crucial to prune your Veronica 'Midnight' correctly. If your pruning is too aggressive, you risk removing too much of the new growth and re-shaping the original look of your plant. Additionally, if you prune too late in the season, you could be removing the buds that will produce the flowers in the coming year. Therefore, it is important to prune at the right time to make sure your Veronica 'Midnight' has an opportunity to reach its full potential.
