Video: Flower Feature—Blue Veronica
Kelly’s back to introduce you to another one of her favorite flowers: Blue Veronica (also known to some as Speedwell).
Blue veronica is a great flower to use to bring color out the edges of your arrangement—especially when creating sculptural pieces! Even if you’re usually creating a round arrangement, you can use Blue Veronica to add a bit of whimsy to the design.
When the flower is stressed, the tips can tend to become a little sad and droop. All you need to do is give it a fresh cut, dip it in Quick Dip, and place it in fresh water. Usually you’ll see it perk up in a few hours!
If you’re clipping veronica from your garden or farm, just make sure the plant has had a good drink of water beforehand.
