I purchased this plant at a nursery one year ago, not in bloom. When I pulled it out of the pot, the strangled root system was a shocker. There was almost no soil to be seen, just roots. I sliced right down the middle with my gardening knife and planted both pieces near each other, adding a ton of my own compost to the planting holes. It recovered and bloomed well. It is now emerging from its winter dormancy. I look forward to the vivid blue-purple spires. Zone 6 southeast PA

In Northern New Jersey Veronica spicata 'Royal Candles' (PP18932) is highly attractive to whitefly infestation but don’t appear to be harmed by the whiteflies. However, nearby plants such as Hibiscus mutabilis, and possibly other Hibiscus, are damaged by the whiteflies. Depending on locality be prepared to deal with whiteflies. The plant itself is very pretty and grows well; it is the uninvited dinner guests which are the problem.

Abundant violet flowers that seem to glow. However, plants in my garden are prone to fungal blights...benefits from a regime of systemic fungicides and sulfer.
