How to care for Veronica Wiri Charm:
Veronicas need free-draining soil, so before planting, dig in lots of organic matter to improve the soil condition and drainage. Water newly planted shrubs regularly for the first season, especially in warm, dry weather. Once planted, this veronica requires minimal pruning, but remove misplaced or frost-damaged branches in late spring. Protect from severe winter weather with a double layer of horticultural fleece.
