Veronica ‘Tickled Pink’
Hybrid Speedwell |
USDA Zone: 3-9 |
Plant number: 1.540.570
A hybrid Speedwell from the USA that shows great promise. This forms a bushy mound of narrow green leaves, bearing upright wands of deep-pink flowers for weeks on end, starting in early summer. Removing faded spikes regularly will encourage more buds to form. Excellent for cutting. Attractive to butterflies. This was found as a sport of ‘Goodness Grows’ by Mike Farrow at Holly Hills Farms in Maryland. Quite possibly hardy to Zone 2 or colder. USPP#16182: unlicensed propagation prohibited. Registered with COPF.
