Water Saving Tip:

Replace turf with groundcovers, trees, and shrubs. If you have areas where no one uses the grass, patches that do not grow well, or a turf area too small to water without runoff, consider replacing the turf with water-efficient landscaping.

  • Description

  • Notes

This Veronica grows about 12 inches tall and wide, with green to grey-green foliage and spires of violet-blue flowers that bloom from June until fall. 'Goodness Grows' was discovered as a seedling at the Goodness Grows Nursery in Lexington, Georgia.
Grow in well drained soil in full sun; prefers sandy-loam to clay-loam soils. This species isn't as drought tolerant as some other veronica, but weekly watering during the peak of summer ought to be adequate. Deadheading will ensure a more steady blooming season. Cut back in late winter to early spring (see Guides).
