Nursery contributed plant descriptions

In addition to the stylish blooms, this sought-after Veronicastrum gives you good reason to adore it. When tall valiant stems stretch skyward, they strut striking purple shades easily spotted from a distance, which promise to turn more than a few heads. Round densely packed pink buds set the stage for ethereal-looking lilac flowers on candelabra-like spires, further enhancing the dashing whorls of deep green pointed leaves.
