Cultivation and Propagation

Veronica sessiliflora can be propagated by seed or division. Sow seeds in spring or autumn in a cold frame. When they are large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and plant them out into their permanent positions in late spring or early summer, after the last expected frosts. Division in spring or autumn. Larger divisions can be planted out direct into their permanent positions. We have found it best to pot up the smaller divisions and grow them on in light shade in a cold frame until they are established.

Where to Find Veronica sessiliflora
