Veronica longifolia 'Marietta' is a charming speedwell cultivar, bearing tightly-packed spikes of indigo-coloured flowers set against upright stems and foliage. If deadheaded regularly, it will flower for months, throughout summer and well into autumn. To top it all, it's a fantastic plant for pollinating insects.
For best results, grow Veronica longifolia 'Marietta' in full sun or partial shade in moist well-drained soil. May need staking in more exposed locations.
