Proven Winners® Pink Potion Spike Speedwell (Veronica spicata ‘Pink Potion’) (PW)

Proven Winners® Pink Potion Spike Speedwell (Veronica spicata ‘Pink Potion’) (PW) is a compact hardy perennial prized for its vivid pink flower spikes, tidy upright growth habit, and long blooming season. Flowering from early to mid-summer, this colourful speedwell adds vertical texture, pollinator appeal, and reliable colour to perennial borders, cottage gardens, and sunny landscape plantings.

The bright pink flower spikes rise above dense deep green foliage and attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial pollinators throughout the blooming season. Its compact clumping habit stays neat and upright without flopping, making it ideal for edging, smaller gardens, patio containers, and mixed perennial borders.

The narrow textured foliage provides attractive structure even when the plant is not in bloom, while the colourful flower spikes create excellent contrast against ornamental grasses and other summer perennials. Deadheading spent blooms may encourage additional flowering later in the season.

In Alberta, Pink Potion Spike Speedwell performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and moderate watering during establishment. Once mature, it develops good drought tolerance and thrives during Prairie summers with minimal maintenance.
