Extremely easy to grow and virtually maintenance-free; thick spikes of violet-blue flowers massed above dark green glossy foliage; makes an ideal garden accent, great in rock gardens or combination containers

Magic Show Wizard of Ahhs Speedwell has masses of beautiful spikes of blue flowers with violet overtones rising above the foliage from early to mid summer, which are most effective when planted in groupings. Its glossy narrow leaves remain forest green in color throughout the season.
It is a dense herbaceous perennial with an upright spreading habit of growth. Its relatively fine texture sets it apart from other garden plants with less refined foliage. This is a relatively low maintenance plant, and should only be pruned after flowering to avoid removing any of the current season’s flowers. It is a good choice for attracting butterflies to your yard, but is not particularly attractive to deer who tend to leave it alone in favor of tastier treats.
