I tried to divide one of my plants a couple of years ago, but the part I chopped off and replanted did not take. So this isn't the kind of plant that will quickly sprawl out, at least not here in Zone 4b for me. Though, the clumps have certainly increased in size over time for me.
Like most upright veronicas, this cultivar needs good drainage and consistent moisture---it is fairly sensitive to drought, but it needs good drainage too, especially for winter survival.

Found this in a home store's garden center. Held blooms well into fall and emerged early in the spring. Lots of bees and butterflies.
