Anyone growing Veronica 'Tickled Pink'

I planted several veral small starts of this two years ago and while it has filled in nicely, it just doesn't bloom that much. I'm wondering if that's been the experiance of any one else or does it need time to settle in?

Hmmm, I planted one not too long ago but it is a good size. I don't expect much from it this year but it's next to several established blue ones so I'll be able to compare next year.
I know that doesn't help you at all though.

Next year if you remember, let me know how yours is doing. Mine might need to be moved if yours flowers heavily.

The lady that started me in gardening always warned me that with baby perennials of most types, it takes three years for them to become established and mature enough to strut their stuff. Her words, not mine. :-)

She said: First year, they sleep. Second year, they creep, third year they leap.

So, be patient and give your plants time to grow-up. They are gorgeous plants and will reward you.
