Product description

Snow Candles Speedwell | Veronica ‘Snow Candles’ | Dwarf Speedwell ‘Snow Candles’ | Spiked Speedwell ‘Snow Candles’ Snow Candles Speedwell is a charming, sun-loving herbaceous perennial prized for its spectacularly compact, dwarf habit and dense profusion of crisp, pure white flower spikes that rise just above neat mounds of deep green foliage. This exceptionally tough, heat-tolerant selection is known for its remarkable early-to-midsummer bloom time and low-growing form that stays perfectly tidy without flopping. Its nectar-rich blossoms are an absolute magnet for butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, making it a spectacular, low-maintenance thriller and edger for sunny landscape borders, rock gardens, and mixed patio containers. With its pristine, elegant blooms and reliable performance through challenging conditions, Snow Candles offers an extraordinary display of bright color and structured, miniature texture with exceptionally straightforward care. Growing Snow Candles Speedwell Light: Full sun to partial shade; thrives in bright, direct sunlight (at least 6 to 8 hours per day) to produce the most abundant blooms, the strongest stems, and maintain a tight, compact form. Soil: Light, well-drained soil; highly adaptable to average soils as long as drainage is excellent. It is extremely susceptible to root rot in heavy, waterlogged clay, especially during the cold, wet winter months. Water: Moderate; water regularly until established, then allow the top few inches of soil to dry out completely between waterings. It is reasonably drought-tolerant once mature but performs best with consistent moisture during extended dry, hot spells. Maintenance: Exceptionally low maintenance. Deadhead spent flower spikes promptly by cutting them back to the basal foliage to encourage a continuous, prolific second flush of blooms later in the summer and maintain a tidy appearance. Wildlife: Highly attractive to butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds; naturally deer- and rabbit-resistant. Hardiness: Perennial in USDA zones 4–8; exceptionally cold-hardy and reliable across a wide range of climates provided it has excellent winter drainage.
