Cultivar of Veronica schmidtiana, a perennial from the Plantaginaceae family, selected for the pink color of its flowers, which clearly distinguishes it from the blue-dominant type species. Like the latter, it is of Japanese origin and shares the same cultural requirements.
It forms a compact and rounded clump, 6 to 12 cm in height, which is abundantly covered at flowering time to the point that the foliage almost entirely disappears under the flowers. The leaves are small, oval to slightly crenate, medium green, borne on well-visible reddish stems, especially on young shoots.
The flowers are a soft lilac pink, finely streaked with a more intense pink towards the center of the corolla. The stamens with yellow anthers slightly exceed the petals. They are gathered in short and dense spikes, numerous, which emerge simultaneously and give the clump a uniformly flowered and particularly generous appearance.
In its natural habitat, the flowering of the type species extends from June to August. In cultivation, this cultivar generally blooms in June-July.
It requires a very well-drained, gravelly soil, a sunny exposure, and protection against stagnant moisture in winter. It reseeds easily like the type species, although the seedlings may not faithfully reproduce the color of the cultivar.
