Gentian Speedwell (Veronica gentianoides Blue Streak) - Elegant perennial with upright spikes of exquisite lavender blue veined flowers that can become dense enough to almost be mat forming. Perfect for full sun to partially shady spots in the garden and great as a cut flower. These are great border plants, growing up to 18 inches in height. This variety has an RHS Award of Garden Merit.
How To Grow Gentian Speedwell: Sow Veronica seeds indoors 4 - 6 weeks prior to last spring frost. Sow Spike Speedwell flower seeds in small containers or starter trays using quality seed starting mix. Press the Speedwell seeds into the mix but do not cover seeds -- light is helpful for germination. Moisten mix and keep moist until germination begins. Transplant outdoors after frost danger has passed spacing them 12 inches apart. Veronica ground cover seeds can be sown directly outdoors as well. Prepare a seedbed of loosened soil that is weed free. Once frost danger has passed, sow the Veronica seed into the seedbed, pressing the seeds in tightly. Keep moist until germination.
