Joining the popular MAGIC SHOW® Veronica comes a brand new color for the collection. 'Purple Illusion' matches the habit and flower size of 'Wizard of Ahhs', but with thick, rosy purple flowers. Dark green leaves form a thick foliar canopy, so the plant has substance even after it has finished blooming. 'Purple Illusion' requires vernalization to bloom. Try pairing with DAISY MAY® Leucanthemum and 'Cherry Truffles' Heuchera.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Veronica Magic Show® 'Purple Illusion'

This perennial is tolerant of a wide range of well-drained soil types. Amending soils, especially very heavy and light types, with generous amounts of organic matter will result in improved performance. Although tolerant of partial shade, it will flower better in full sun. Deadheading will promote additional blooms. Shear back the foliage if it becomes worn-looking after flowering.
