Veronica spicata
When to plant spike speedwell
Spike speedwell is a clumping perennial set out as a plant. Plant in spring once the soil is workable in full sun and moist, well-drained soil; NC State notes shearing back to the basal rosette after the late-spring-to-midsummer bloom can bring repeat fall flowers.
Spike Speedwell is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
