It flowers from midsummer into late summer and often sends up more spikes in September.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 14 to 16 inches it fits nicely behind low perennials and in front of shrubs. The dark green, glossy, narrow leaves resist disease better than many older varieties, and bees, butterflies and hummingbirds visit often.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSlender, tapering flower spikes 5 to 8 inches long densely packed with tiny pure white florets, rising over the top half of the plant. Leaves are narrow, linear, dark green and glossy, 2 to 3 inches long. The plant is a compact, rounded clump 14 to 16 inches tall and 16 to 20 inches wide. At peak it looks like a glossy dark green mound topped with white wands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSpeedwell likes full sun like lavender but appreciates a little more moisture, so set it at the edge of a lavender bed where it gets occasional water; its slender spikes echo lavender's form and extend the season of spiky color.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun to part shade in average, well-drained soil that does not stay dry for long.
