care tips
Take good care of your Showy-speedwell and you will enjoy it for many years. Inspect the plant in March for signs of frost damage. Some varieties can tolerate temperatures down to -12°C, but generally down to -7°C. Veronicas prefer humid environments. It is resistant to atmospheric pollution. Hebes in open ground or in pots should not be fed with nitrogen-rich fertilizers, but will appreciate some fertilizer in April and July. Water your hebe only if necessary in dry periods.
