Speedwell is a very rewarding and long-lived perennial that offers a wide range of uses in the garden. It is characterized by its tiny flowers arranged in striking candle-like inflorescences, which bring an interesting vertical structure to plantings. Depending on the specific species, it can also adapt to very different conditions. While taller species naturally grow in wetter meadows and along stream banks, they will look best in the garden in classic perennial beds. They complement each other perfectly with roses, for example, or in naturally styled compositions. They are also great for cutting, and they can last in a vase for a whole week. Conversely, you will appreciate low, carpet-forming speedwells in drier and warmer locations. They are made for south-facing slopes, rock gardens, or containers on sunny terraces. With its low maintenance and persistence, speedwell easily earns a place in every garden.
