Description of the plant:
How poetic to call a flower First Love®! This speedwell was named just like that and no wonder. Its neony rich purple pink spikes shine through the garden from early morning until late evening with lasting intensity. It makes a compact clump and is able to produce flowers from late June until early autumn if in humus-rich soil and if regularly dead-headed. Leaves are broadly lanceolate, serrated at margins, deep green. FIRST LOVE® was bread by Wilhelmus can den Hoogen and patented as PP21478 in 2010.Speedwell will grow in any moist but well-drained, reasonably fertile soil, preferably in full sun but partial shade will do no harm. Hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4), and will grow well in a container, too, where the soil should never dry out.
