Veronica spicata is a herbaceous perennial with opposite, toothed leaves and dense terminal flower racemes.
Flowers and foliage
The narrow upright inflorescences stand apart from the lower foliage. Moist but well-drained ground suits it; excessive winter wetness can cause root rot. Seed-selection stature should be distinguished from a fixed species-wide height.
Dense flower spikes and dwarf labels
Dwarf Rose and Minor (Dwarf) are the listed dwarf-labelled seed references.
