Petite in stature but bold in beauty, this dwarf evergreen shrub presents an upright mounded form ideal for low maintenance landscape planting. The small spear-shaped leaves present a glossy green colour edged in chartreuse-yellow for a bright contrast. In early summer, short upright spikes emerge carrying an abundance of pale lilac or white flowers. For small spaces wanting refined structure with a dash of colour, Veronica ‘Nana’ is a worthy candidate that delivers a contemporary and minimalistic impact.
Veronicas need free-draining soil, so before planting, dig in lots of organic matter to improve the soil condition and drainage. Water newly planted hebes regularly for the first season, especially in warm, dry weather. Once planted, this veronica requires minimal pruning, but remove misplaced or frost-damaged branches in late spring. Protect from severe winter weather with a double layer of horticultural fleece.
- CAUTION toxic if eaten/skin & eye irritant
