Veronica spicata is an enchanting perennial commonly known as Speedwell. Imagine a polychromatic spectacle of slender, spire-like clusters adorned with small, star-shaped flowers of vivid blues, purples, pinks or stark whites, breathing color and life into your landscape from early to late summer. Set against this vibrant flower show, you'll find dense, glossy, dark green foliage which forms an attractive and compact mound, reaching heights and widths of 1-2 feet. Speedwell's resilience comes to the fore with its ability to endure full sun to partial shade, displaying a commendable drought tolerance. As an added bonus, this low-maintenance gem is a magnet for butterflies, enhancing your garden's biodiversity while remaining resistant to deer.
