Magic Show® 'Purple Illusion' Spike Speedwell (Veronica hybrid)

Our perennials are currently going dormant. The foliage and blooms begin to brown and die back. We provide a hard trim in the greenhouse to support this process. During dormancy, plants go inactive to conserve their energy for the next growing season. This happens naturally as seasons change!

The Magic Show® 'Purple Illusion' is a stunning summer-blooming perennial that adds vibrant color and structure to any garden. Its thick, rosy-purple flower wands stand tall above a rounded, low clump of rich green foliage. This eye-catching plant thrives when planted in combination containers or near the front of the border, creating a striking focal point. Even after the flowers have faded, the dark green leaves form a lush, thick canopy, ensuring the plant maintains its visual appeal throughout the seasons.

Our perennial plants are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage and blooms are browning and dying back—this is completely normal! We give the plants a hard trim in our greenhouse to support them as they conserve energy for the next growing season. Rest assured, your perennials will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

 

Care: This plant grows best in average, humus enriched, well-drained soil and full sun. Though it will survive in partial shade, it flowers best in sun. Shear back after blooming. Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring.
