Veronicastrum virginicum 'Diana' - 2026

Veronicastrum virginicum 'Diana' is a statuesque perennial known for its tall, tapering spires of soft lilac-pink flowers that appear in abundance from midsummer to early autumn. The elegant flower spikes rise above neatly arranged whorls of deep green leaves, giving the plant a distinctive tiered appearance. Its upright form and refined colouring make it perfect for adding vertical structure and gentle colour to mixed borders, prairie-style plantings, or damp meadow gardens.

This variety flourishes in moist, fertile, well-drained soil and enjoys a position in full sun to partial shade. Regular watering during dry periods promotes lush growth and extended blooming. Once established, ‘Diana’ requires little attention aside from cutting back spent stems and dividing every few years to maintain vigour. Its flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and hoverflies, offering strong ecological value in wildlife-friendly garden settings.
