Veronica - Royal Candles Speedwell
The Veronica ‘Royal Candles’, Veronica spicata, also known as Speedwell, is an easy to grow perennial that adds beauty to any garden. This new Veronica is the most disease resistant perennial in its family. ‘Royal Candles’ produces wonderful dark blue, candle flowers from June till September. With its dark glossy green foliage, it has a plant height of 15” and a spread of 12-18”. ‘Royal Candles’ needs a full sun area with well-drained soil. Deadhead the flowers after the first bloom to prolong its bloom time. You may shear this plant lightly after blooming to promote fresh foliage and any possible fall reblooming. Veronica can be used as a ground cover, in mass plantings or along borders. Try ‘Royal Candles’ with Hemerocallis ‘Stella de Oro’ or Veronica ‘White Icicles’ for color contrasts. Veronica is great for the first time gardener plus it is deer and rabbit resistant. Butterflies are attracted to this plant so they will entertain you while watching these colorful floating beauties!

The Bleeding Heart Specatabilis ‘Alba’, 'Dicentra specatabilis ‘Alba’, is a fast-growing perennial with white, heart-shaped flowers. ‘Alba’ has two distinguishing features that make it a little different from the rest.
