speedwell

Speedwell (Veronica 'Novaverblu' DARK BLUE MOODY BLUES) grows best when given an average amount of water on a regular schedule. Depending on the heat and humidity, it will likely need to be watered approximately once a week for optimal growth. Water deeply until the soil is moist. Let the soil dry somewhat between waterings to avoid overwatering. During the warmer summer months, more frequent watering may be needed but as the weather cools down, reduce the amount of water over time. Avoid letting the speedwell sit in water or hold moisture for long periods of time, as this can cause root rot.

Speedwell (Veronica 'Novaverblu' DARK BLUE MOODY BLUES) is a type of perennial flowering plant that prefers to grow in full sun, meaning that it requires approximately 6 to 8 hours of sunlight each day to thrive. This plant is best suited for zone 4 through 8 where strong, direct sunlight is plentiful, so it's best to place this plant in an area of your yard that has access to full sun during the majority of the day. Speedwell typically blooms during late spring to mid-summer, and during that period, it's important that it gets as much sun as possible to ensure maximum bloom and growth.

Speedwell (Veronica 'Novaverblu' DARK BLUE MOODY BLUES) should be pruned 2 to 3 times a year to maintain its vibrant shape and flower display. The first pruning should occur in the early spring after new growth has begun. Using sharp pruners, trim the entire plant back by approximately 1-third of its original size. The second pruning should occur during the mid-summer months. Deadhead the plant by removing all spent flower blooms and brown foliage. This will allow for better air circulation and encourages future flower growth. Finally, the third pruning in the late autumn should be used to trim back any overly long and grotesque branches, as well as to shape the plant. It is important to never prune more than 1-third of the total amount of growth at any 1 time. In addition, pruning too late in the season could result in frost injury.
