Description / Veronica Vernique® 'Shining Sea' Speedwell
Vernique® 'Shining Sea' Speedwell produces rounded spikes of lavender blue flowers that rise above refined green foliage from late spring into midsummer. The rich flower color adds a cooling effect to the garden while creating striking contrast against neighboring plants. Its compact upright habit keeps the plant neat and full, making it a standout choice for long lasting seasonal color.
Butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds are drawn to the nectar rich blooms, bringing activity and movement to the garden throughout the flowering season. This versatile perennial works beautifully in mass plantings, borders, containers, and rock gardens where the flower spikes add vertical texture. The soft lavender blue flowers pair naturally with roses, catmint, salvia, echinacea, and ornamental grasses.
Grow Vernique® 'Shining Sea' in full sun to partial shade and average garden soil. Hardy in Zones 4 through 8, plants reach approximately 18 inches tall and 12 inches wide. Removing spent flower spikes helps encourage additional bloom and maintains a tidy appearance. Its compact size and extended flowering period make it a valuable addition to both formal and informal garden designs.
