National Plant Network 1 gal. Veronica Royal Candles

National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening. Veronica Royal Candles is a standout compact speedwell prized for its tidy growth habit and exceptionally intense floral display. Forming a dense clump of lush green foliage that stays clean and attractive throughout the season, this hardy perennial produces abundant, vertical spires of deep royal blue flowers from late spring into summer. Unlike older cultivars, its lower foliage remains fresh and green rather than yellowing, providing a polished look in front-of-border plantings, rock gardens, along pathways, or in patio containers. Its erect flower spikes serve as a powerful magnet for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds while offering natural resistance to deer and rabbits. Simple to care for and highly disease resistant, it requires minimal maintenance beyond shearing back faded flower spikes to encourage repeat blooming. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this resilient plant easily handles heat once established.
