Description
‘Purple Illusion’ matches the habit and flower size of ‘Wizard of Ahhs’, but with thick, purple flowers. Dark green leaves form a thick foliar canopy, so the plant has substance even after it has finished blooming. ‘Purple Illusion’ requires vernalization to bloom.
Veronica is highly valued for its ease of growth and long bloom time. The spiky flowers are an excellent contrast to the more common rounded flower shapes like Shasta Daisies, Coneflower, and Black Eyed Susans. Expect bees to be buzzing about this plant when in bloom.
Shearing back spent blooms encourages reblooming.
