Description
First Lady Speedwell is a compact, long-blooming perennial that brings elegant white flower spikes to the garden from early through late summer. Numerous bright white blooms rise above tidy mounds of rich green foliage, creating a crisp, clean look in borders, rock gardens, pollinator plantings, and patio containers. First Lady Speedwell is especially striking when planted in groups, where its flower spikes provide months of color and texture.
Easy to grow and fast to establish, First Lady Speedwell thrives in full sun to partial shade and performs best in average to moist, well-drained soil. Deadheading spent blooms encourages additional flowering, extending the display throughout the season. Its compact habit makes it an excellent choice for edging pathways, filling containers, or adding reliable color to perennial gardens while attracting butterflies and other pollinators.
Each plant comes in a #1 (1 gallon) growers container. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
