Plant Name      VERONICA spicata White
Plant Description      SUN. This is the companion to the Nana Blue. Rather hard to locate, this is one of my favourites for the mid border. Clean mid-green narrow foliage in a clump that sprouts thin stems terminating in a spire of perfectly white tiny flowers.
The display lasts for months over summer & well into autumn if the spent stems are removed. The bees seem to like the flowers for a food source. It is a fuss-free, easy to grow plant that likes good soil in full sun, with a little fertiliser early spring & late summer, along with most of the rest of the well tended garden.
With adequate water in dry periods, & good airflow, this plant will delight wee visitors especially, if you call the flowers 'Fairy Spires'. Ht around 60cm, spread 40cm.
Cut back to the ground for winter. Briefly Winter dormant, very hardy.
PB 3/4 size $6-00. 3 only.
Plant Cost      $ 6.00
