Veronica spicata – Spike Speedwell
Veronica spicata, commonly known as Spike Speedwell, is a compact, clump-forming perennial admired for its upright spikes of vibrant flowers, ranging from deep blue to violet, pink, or white, that bloom from early summer into autumn. Its fine, lance-shaped foliage provides a neat, low-maintenance base, while the flower spikes attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Hardy, drought-tolerant once established, and long-flowering, it is ideal for borders, rock gardens, and cottage garden plantings.
