Veronica Spicata 'Royal Candles' PPAF

Glory Speedwell, Spike Speedwell

Royal Candles Speedwell forms a clump of narrow, toothed leaves beneath upright violet-blue flower spikes. The many small blooms create a concentrated band of color during summer.

The tapering flower heads bring vertical rhythm to a mixed perennial border. Group several plants where the blue flowers can be seen against softer foliage or pale-colored companions.

Choose full sun and well-drained soil. Provide adequate moisture during establishment.
