Veronica spicata ‘Royal Candles’ is a compact, upright perennial known for its dense spikes of rich violet-blue flowers rising above a tidy mound of deep green foliage. The blooms appear in early summer and continue into midsummer, with reliable rebloom if spent spikes are cut back.
Growing 12–15 inches tall and spreading about the same, it forms a clean, clumping habit that fits easily into borders, edging, and containers. The flower spikes are sturdy and well-proportioned—no flopping, no fuss—just a steady vertical accent that pairs well with softer, mounding plants.
It thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. Once established, it tolerates heat and brief dry spells, though it performs best with moderate moisture. Bees and butterflies are frequent visitors, drawn to the dense flower spikes.
