Veronica spicata 'Royal Candles'
Veronica spicata 'Royal Candles' is a compact, long-flowering perennial producing elegant spikes of rich violet-blue flowers above neat clumps of vibrant green serrated foliage. Flowering throughout summer, the slender blooms create strong vertical interest and bring vibrant colour to borders, containers and wildlife-friendly planting schemes.
This award-winning variety is particularly valued for its compact habit, making it ideal for smaller gardens and front-of-border positions where it delivers maximum impact without taking up excessive space. The nectar-rich flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.
Easy to grow and reliable, 'Royal Candles' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, combining beautifully with ornamental grasses, salvias and other summer-flowering perennials.
