Veronica longifolia 'Eveline'

Speedwell

Dense, erect, top-tapered spikes of tiny violet to purple-red flowers bloom from late spring to late summer on 'Eveline' veronica. This speedwell has an upright, neat form and has dark green, lance-shaped leaves. Summer brings tall, dense spikes of small, tubular flowers. The flowers are lightly fragrant, attractive to bees, and good for cutting. In the fall, the leaves turn a deep purple-red hue.
