Perfectly Picasso Spike Speedwell

Long-blooming, compact and rich in nectar, this tidy speedwell draws bees, butterflies and even hummingbirds during much of the summer. Slender, softly bristled spikes show striking white buds opening to soft medium pink flowers, creating a distinctive bicolour effect above dense, rounded green foliage. Easy to grow, deer resistant and tolerant of a wide range of well-drained soil types, it shines in mixed borders, rock gardens and cutting beds, with sturdy stems that perform beautifully in bouquets.
