In late spring, these plants are adorned with tall wands of white buds and gradually open to neon pink candles, giving the plant a bicolor appearance while they are progressively opening. These masses of spires are certain to be abuzz with bees and other pollinators all summer long. A versatile rounded habit makes this mid-sized Veronica perfect for mass plantings, mixed beds, and perennial borders.

Care
Watering:
`Perfectly Picasso' Veronica is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from occasional watering, to maintain soil in a moist but not wet condition, during the summer months.
Fertilizing:
`Perfectly Picasso' Veronica is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.
Pruning:
`Perfectly Picasso' Veronica should be enjoyed all winter long, then, during early April before it begins to grow again, it should be pruned or mowed back to ground level.
