Why some shipping routes differ

Live plants are pickup only June 1–September 30. Plugs and potted plants cannot use our shipping path to AZ, CA, HI, ID, NV, OR, UT, or WA; pickup may remain available. Soil-free bare root plants may ship to those states during March 1–May 31 when all remaining rules pass. Montana plug and potted-plant arrivals must be October 1–May 31.

We choose neem oil and lower-impact plant care instead of routinely drenching our greenhouse with lab-manufactured pesticides. We are exploring a screened growing house that may expand future shipping options.

Bare root arrives dormant

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Until then it can look lifeless, so you won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether it will grow.

About the Product

Jedi Gem is a light pink form of Purple Leia, growing taller than it is wide with long-blooming flower spikes. Spent florets drop on their own, so the spikes stay fresh-looking as they keep opening.

It adds vertical interest and near-continuous color from midsummer into late summer. The dark green foliage has excellent mildew resistance, and bees are drawn to it all season.

What it looks like

Slender, tapering flower spikes 6 to 10 inches long densely packed with tiny light pink florets, opening from the bottom up and covering the top half of the plant. Leaves are lance-shaped, finely toothed and dark green, 2 to 4 inches long, in pairs along upright stems. The plant is an upright clump 28 to 30 inches tall and 18 to 20 inches wide. At peak it looks like a tall green clump topped with soft pink spires.

Growing it with lavender

Speedwell likes full sun like lavender but appreciates a little more moisture, so set it at the edge of a lavender bed where it gets occasional water; its slender spikes echo lavender's form and extend the season of spiky color.

Care

Plant in full sun to part shade in average, well-drained soil that does not stay dry for long. Hardy in zones 4-8; cut spent spikes back to the next set of side buds to keep new flowers coming, and divide crowded clumps every few years in spring.

How to grow Jedi Gem

Spike Speedwell · Veronica

Plant in full sun in well-drained soil that stays evenly moist in summer. Cut spent spikes back to the leafy base for repeat bloom; soggy winter soil causes rot.

When it arrives

Your bare-root plant

Bare-root Veronica is a compact crown with fibrous roots and sometimes small leaf buds at the top. Soak roots 20 minutes, plant with the crown at soil level, and water in.

Expect new growth in about 6 weeks after planting. Bare root ships March–May while dormant, with little or no top growth, and it can look lifeless until then. That’s normal. Low green leafy rosettes appear in early spring; flower spikes follow in late spring to early summer.

You won’t be able to tell within 24 hours of arrival whether a dormant plant will grow.
