Veronicastrum virginicum 'Challenger'
Veronicastrum virginicum 'Challenger' is a graceful upright perennial producing densely packed spires of blush pink flowers from mid-summer through to autumn. Its elegant flower spikes bring height, movement and a naturalistic charm to borders, creating a soft, airy display that blends beautifully with other late-season perennials.
The slender blooms are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects, making this variety an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly gardens. Its long-lasting flowers are also ideal for cutting, adding texture and vertical interest to fresh floral arrangements.
Thriving in full sun or partial shade, 'Challenger' performs best in fertile, well-drained soil. Its architectural habit and delicate colouring make it a valuable addition to cottage gardens, prairie-style planting schemes and mixed herbaceous borders.
