Veronica spicata ‘First Glory’ – 2026

Description

Veronica spicata ‘First Glory’ is a compact, clump-forming perennial that produces upright spikes of deep violet-blue flowers above narrow, lance-shaped green foliage. Blooming from early to late summer, the densely packed flower spikes provide a long-lasting vertical display, adding height, colour, and structure to borders, mixed plantings, and wildlife-friendly gardens. Its tidy habit and vibrant blooms make it suitable for the front of borders, container plantings, and cut flower arrangements.

This variety thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. It is highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies, offering abundant nectar throughout its flowering season. Once established, it requires minimal maintenance, with occasional deadheading helping to prolong bloom and maintain tidy growth. Veronica spicata ‘First Glory’ combines ornamental appeal with ecological value, making it a reliable and colourful choice for sunny garden borders.
