Magic Show^® 'Pink Potion' Spike Speedwell Veronica hybrid

This is an excellent plant once it gets established in its environment. I'm convinced that this perennial takes longer than similar perennial plants to get established & provide the quantity of flowers that most gardeners expect. I suspect that many have seen the plant in pictures which often exhibit numerous flowers, hence possibly why they are buying the plant with the same expectations. In my experience as a grower & horticulturist, it does not do well in containers regarding continuous blooms. It seems to prefer full sunlight & well drained rich fertile soil with above average organic matter. Unlike other varieties it really needs 3-4 seasons in the soil before it's happy. Once established it can bloom year after year prolifically. Even then it still can be finicky about blooming some years. I have found that providing a high phosphate analysis in early Spring will provide a boost & help to ensure blooms. I've started feeding the plants in my landscape (Zone 8) with a liquid feed in late March thru May every 3 weeks. This seems to work after growing the plants for 5 seasons. If you are looking for lots of blooms early on in the landscape this plant made not be the best choice for you since it seems to need ample time to Bloom prolifically.

I haven’t had any issues with this plant. I bought 3 from a nursery nearby and they are thriving! So many blooms and the pollinators are loving it!

I had the exact same results as D. Schutz. I ordered them because I couldn't find them in any of our garden centers so this was costly. I'll give them until next season to see if they actually bloom, but will rip them out if they don't. I heard such rave reviews about Proven Winners so this was quite disappointing and am hesitant to order from them again.

This plant is so cute. I love the baby pink blooms on it. Did very well in my garden and bloomed twice last summer.
