The Eveline Veronica (Veronica longifolia 'Eveline') is one of the newer species of Veronica Speedwell available today and Nature Hills Nursery is proud to offer this elegant specimen! This easy-to-grow perennial has purplish-pink flower spikes that bloom throughout the summer months of June to September. The deep green foliage turns a beautiful purple-red in the fall. Truly gorgeous!
The gorgeous mounds of foliage and fall color almost make these plants as lovely when not in bloom as they are in a full flush of violet spires! Eveline's elegant slender blooms are densely-packed with tiny florets packed with nectar and are perfect for pollinators!
This Veronica is deer-resistant and does attract Hummingbirds and butterflies. It is heat and cold tolerant as well throughout USDA growing zones 4 through 9. Eveline thrives in a wide range of conditions and is so easygoing for even the most novice of gardeners. Spreading to 18 inches in width, these mounds are space-saving and reach a height of about the same.
Planting and Application:

#ProPlantTips For Care
For best results plant this Veronica in full sun. Eveline Speedwell must have good drainage and requires low to moderate watering. Add 3-4 inches of arborist mulch for moisture retention and insulation. Deadheading promotes more blooms, so keep it re-blooming by pruning off old flower spikes as they fade. New growth will begin and in a few weeks, new flower spikes will emerge. In late autumn, once the foliage dies back after frost, you can prune the mound to remove excess debris.
- Blooms Best in Full Sun
- Well-Drained Enriched Soil
- Regular Moisture Needs
- Deadhead For Rebloom & Prune Mounds Late Autumn
- Seldom Damaged By Deer or Rabbits
- Easy-to-Grow
