Description
Veronica hebe is an ornamental shrub that stands out for its beautiful and lush flowers, which add colour and vibrancy to the space. The plant's flowers usually appear in shades of purple, blue, white or pink, while the leaves are glossy and compact, creating a striking green background. It is a plant that thrives both outdoors and indoors, especially when provided with the right light. It usually flowers from spring to autumn and can add an exotic element to the space it decorates.
Care
Veronica hebe prefers sunny or semi-shaded areas, with its ideal position being where it receives soft light, without direct exposure to the sun for long hours.
Watering
It prefers the soil to be slightly moist at all times, but without water remaining in the pot's saucer. In the warmer months it needs more frequent watering, while in winter the frequency is reduced, as long as the soil remains slightly moist.
Temperature
The ideal temperature for Veronica hebe is 15-25°C. It can withstand relatively low temperatures, but when the temperature drops below 0°C, it is advisable to protect it.
Transplanting
Use well-drained soil, ideally a mixture for ornamental shrubs. Transplanting can be done every 2-3 years or when you notice that the roots have taken over the entire pot.
Tips
Veronica hebe can be combined with other plants in a garden or terrace, but avoid placing it with very sensitive plants as it may require more space and water.
