Veronicastrum virginicum 'Amethyst' - 2026

Veronicastrum virginicum 'Amethyst' is a tall, elegant perennial admired for its spires of soft amethyst-purple flowers that appear in mid to late summer. The slender blooms rise gracefully above whorled green foliage, forming an upright, architectural shape that adds height and texture to mixed borders or moist meadow plantings. Its pastel-toned flowers blend beautifully with ornamental grasses and other late-summer perennials, bringing both structure and colour harmony to the garden.

Highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinators, this variety offers strong ecological value while maintaining a refined appearance. It thrives in moist but well-drained soil and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. Once established, it requires little maintenance beyond cutting back after flowering and dividing clumps every few years to rejuvenate growth. Ideal for naturalistic plantings, damp borders and wildlife-friendly schemes.
