Reviews

This purple illusion Veronica blooms a beautiful purple and looks great in my perennial flower garden.

I purchased this Purple Illusion Veronica August 2021, and it has been going strong and getting bigger every year despite me moving it to a new location 3 times already due to my poor garden planning (I'm a beginner gardener). It is a hearty little gem that blooms a long time.
