Features

notes

A compact herbaceous perennial, Veronica Snow Candles is a stalwart of the cottage garden, ideal for use as ground cover or in a container on the terrace. The upright flower spikes of this Speedwell are covered in tiny white star-shaped flowers with delicate yellow stamens, held above the serrated dark green leaves. These nectar rich flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators. 

Insights

According to legend, Saint Veronica used her handkerchief to soothe Christ’s brow and the markings left behind resemble the flower spires, hence the name.
