Veronica 'Atomic Ray Mix' Speedwell

Bareroot plants are shipped while dormant, with their roots exposed rather than in a pot of soil. This is a standard, healthy way to ship perennials; simply soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting, and they will quickly establish themselves in your garden.

For the best results, space your Veronica plants 12 inches apart. This allows enough room for their 18-inch mature width while ensuring proper airflow, which helps keep the foliage healthy.

The 'Atomic Ray Mix' Speedwell is hardy in USDA zones 3 through 9. This means it is highly adaptable and capable of surviving winter temperatures as low as -40°F, returning reliably each spring.

Absolutely. Its compact, disciplined growth habit makes it an excellent candidate for containers or patio pots. Just ensure your container has good drainage, as these plants prefer well-drained soil.

It is quite versatile and thrives in both full sun and partial shade. While it will bloom most prolifically in a spot with at least six hours of direct sunlight, it will still perform well in areas with afternoon shade.
