Available late May
Spike Speedwell
Veronica 'Purple Illusion' is a new colour in the popular popular MAGIC SHOW® series. 'Purple Illusion' matches the compact habit and flower power of 'Wizard of Ahhs', but with thick, rosy purple flowers. The dark green leaves form a thick foliar canopy, so the plant has substance even after it has finished blooming. It is a great favourite of pollinators.

Growing and Maintenance Tips
Grow Veronica in average soil that has been amended with organic material. It flowers best in full sun. Deadheading will promote more bloom. When all the flowers are done cut it back to the basal rosette to maintain an attractive appearance.
