Features

notes

The upright flower spikes of Veronica First Love are covered in tiny bright pink star-shaped flowers with delicate yellow stamens, held above the serrated dark green leaves. These nectar rich flowers attract butterflies and other pollinators. This Speedwell is a compact herbaceous perennial, forming a low mound, so is ideal for use as ground cover or in a container on the terrace. 

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.
