Description

Soil:

Spike speedwell is easily grown in average, medium-moisture, well-drained soil. Rich organic matter can be added to the soil to improve overall performance.

Light:

This perennial grows best in full sun (> 6 hours sun) or part sun (4-6 hours sun), with improved flower performance in full sun.

Water:

Spike speedwell has fairly average water needs. The best performance occurs with consistent, regular moisture and sharp soil drainage (particularly in winter).

Fertilizing:

Feed your spike speedwell plants with a general-purpose slow-release fertilizer before new growth begins in spring.

Winterizing:

Cut back to basal growth in late autumn.

Maintenance & Pruning:

Removing faded blooms encourages the flower spires to rebloom. Cutting back faded spikes to the new growth at their base improves their appearance.

Lovely plants are towing quick

Plants arrived in great condition. I potted up and they are already 2x the size and starting to bloom after just a few weeks.

Mailed in high heat—arrived pretty wilted needing care

I’ve bought many perennials from Great Gardens. This particular speedwell arrived in 90 degree PNW heat. Lots of dead leaves and wilt but with great care trimming all leaf loss out and watering, it came back and is doing well now. Our weather turned much cooler and waited to plant it in oak barrel during that period of time. If not for the crispy leaf loss, I would give it 5 stars.

That’s why we have a 60-day guarantee on all of our orders. Please email your order number and pictures of your plants to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process.

small wilted upon arrival but doing better now

Hello! On each product page and our plant sizes page, we note that all of our plants are young. The size of our plants varies depending on the time of year and whether they were recently trimmed. The most important thing when purchasing plants, online or in garden centers, is a full and robust root system, which we prioritize. All orders are covered by our 60-day guarantee, so please reach out to claims@greatgardenplants.com to start the claims process if necessary. We look forward to helping!
