Growing and Maintenance Tips
Veronica ‘Skyward™ Pink’ is an easy, reliable perennial that performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first season to establish roots, then reduce watering—consistent moisture will extend flowering, but the plant tolerates short dry spells. Deadhead spent flower spikes to keep plants tidy and encourage a lighter rebloom; a light shear after the main bloom can refresh growth. Avoid heavy fertilizing, as average soil produces the strongest, most upright habit. Cut back old stems in late fall or early spring. This compact veronica is low maintenance, cold tolerant, and ideal for borders and pollinator gardens.
