Veronicastrum virginicum 'Temptation' - 2026

Veronicastrum virginicum 'Temptation' is a tall, elegant perennial that produces narrow spires of soft lavender-pink flowers from midsummer to early autumn. The upright stems rise above whorls of lance-shaped green leaves, creating a refined, architectural form that adds height and structure to borders and naturalistic plantings. Its delicate, pastel-coloured blooms blend beautifully with ornamental grasses and late-summer perennials, providing both visual interest and graceful movement.

This variety thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained soil and prefers a position in full sun to partial shade. Consistent moisture promotes strong growth and prolonged flowering. Once established, ‘Temptation’ requires minimal maintenance, with only occasional cutting back of spent stems and periodic division to rejuvenate clumps. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, combining ornamental beauty with ecological value in wildlife-friendly gardens.
