Veronica Pink Marshmallow is a compact herbaceous perennial with tidy green foliage and soft pink flower spikes that brighten the garden in summer. Its upright habit and modest size make it a good choice for the front of a border, mixed beds, and patio containers. The flowers give a light, airy look while also helping attract bees and butterflies.
This plant grows best in a sunny spot with well-drained soil, and it forms a neat clump that is easy to place among other perennials. Spent flower spikes can be removed during summer to encourage more blooms and keep the plant looking fresh. When the season ends, the old stems can be cut back low so new growth comes through cleanly the next year.
Pink Marshmallow is generally dependable and easy to manage in a home garden. Established clumps can be divided in spring or fall for simple propagation, and basal cuttings can also be taken in spring. It is usually trouble-free, though aphids may appear on new shoots and mildew can develop if air circulation is poor or the planting stays too damp.
