Spike Speedwell Snow Candles, Veronica spicata 'Joca128'
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.
