Veronica Ronica Fuchsia (also known botanically as Veronica Spicata, or colloquially as Spiked Speedwell) is native to Asia and northern Europe. This perennial plant has tall spikes covered in tiny fuschia flowers that bloom from late spring to early fall. This Veronica Spicata cultivar is disease resistant and particularly tidy in appearance. Veronica Ronica is a more compact and upright variety than others in the species, reaching about 14 inches tall and 16 inches wide. Most commonly, Spiked Speedwell is used in borders, butterfly gardens, and mixed containers. Pair this low-maintenance, long-blooming beauty in at border fronts or the center of mixed containers with Coreopsis Auriculata Nana, Leucanthemum Victorian Secret, Phlox Chattahoochee, Purple Fountain Grass, or any coneflower. Ronica Fuchsia also makes a wonderful cut flower.

Before we take this relationship any further...
It looks like this is the first time you've added anything to your cart.
We just wanted to remind you that we are a wholesale starter plant company that sells to businesses, schools, clubs, and other non-profits. State law dictates that you must be growing for resale to order from us since we are not collecting sales tax.
If we aren't a match, we understand. It's not you, it's us.
We would look awful in orange jumpsuits.
