Tips from Fran
Veronica oltensis is a gem. No doubt about it. The diminutive size is so incredibly cool. It’s got this fancy look about it, yet it is as durable as any of our plants, probably more than most! Put this someplace you can see it and touch it and appreciate its texture. It’s is a joy to have, I promise!
Drought Tolerant...I believe this plant to be very drought tolerant and have seen it withstand long periods of time with minimal watering. However, it has not been tested for extended periods of severe drought.
