Veronica Magic Show® ‘Wizard of Ahhs’ Spike Speedwell

Part of the popular Magic Show® Collection, this early-blooming beauty is one of the first Veronicas to burst into flower each year, delivering bold, thick spikes of intense violet-blue blooms right when your garden needs them most. Its striking spikes are irresistible to butterflies and hummingbirds. Cut a few stems for a vase and you’ll find they hold their color beautifully for days, no wilting, no fading. Compact and tidy by nature, it holds its shape without fussing, making it a perfect fit for neat borders, containers, or anywhere you want reliable, low-maintenance color.
