Perfect for small gardens, Veronica spicata Snow Candles (Spike Speedwell) is a compact, clump-forming perennial producing slender spikes of star-shaped, pure white flowers from early to late summer. Attractive to butterflies, the flowers open from the base upward and sway above the bushy foliage mound of lance-shaped, mid-green leaves. Compact, bushy and not prone to diseases, this dwarf speedwell is ideal for the front of the border, as an edging, or in containers where it will create a long-lasting impact.

• Grows up to 8-10 in. tall and wide (20-25 cm).
• Performs best in full sun, in average, medium moisture, well-drained soils. Tolerates light shade. Best performance occurs with consistent moisture combined with sharp soil drainage.
• Perfect choice for borders, cottage gardens or containers. Good edging plant too. Exceptional as cut flowers. Best when planted in groups.
• Easy to grow, Speedwell requires very low care and is fairly pest and disease-free (some susceptibility to mildew). It is attractive to butterflies, but resistant to rabbit and deer.
• Remove spent flowers to promote additional blooms. Shear back the foliage if it becomes worn-looking after flowering.
