Spiked Speedwell Plug Plants Veronica spicata
Common names include blue spire speedwell.
A striking perennial wildflower that adds vertical accents and vivid colour to sunny borders, wildflower meadows, and grasslands. Spiked speedwell produces dense, slender spikes of violet-blue flowers from June to August, providing an excellent nectar source for bees, butterflies, and hoverflies throughout the summer. Its tidy, upright habit and long flowering season make it as valuable for pollinator gardens as for naturalistic planting schemes.
Thriving in well-drained soils and full sun, this drought-tolerant species is perfect for wildflower borders, dry meadows, and pollinator-friendly gardens.
Our strong, healthy plug plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and ready for planting straight into their final position.
Sourced from native UK seed and grown locally, these plugs are an easy and reliable way to establish this colourful and wildlife-friendly perennial in your garden or wild area.
We recommend planting 5-7 plugs per square metre in small clusters for a naturalistic effect.
