Veronica has about 250 species that range from low growing to erect with spikey flowers. It prefers regular even moisture in well-drained soils. Cut back to the rosette after bloom as many will rebloom. Many cultivars and hybrids are available. These must be propagated asexually to maintain cultivar characteristics. Most veronicas provide a strong vertical accent in the garden. The small flowers are borne on upright, slender racemes, flowering from the bottom to the top. Creeping speedwell produces single small light blue flowers in the spring and is a groundcover.
