Plant Features
Our 'Candied Candle' Veronica Plant looks good enough to eat; though it is edible, the leaves and young shoots consumed raw or cooked, it was most often eaten when all else failed, so we wouldn't recommend it. However, this candy-colored lovely makes a really nice front border for taller plants, can fill a bed with pleasingly pink color and makes an ideal cut blossom to add interest to your vases. Known to attract butterflies. Candied Candle paired with Royal Candles Veronica is a color match made in heaven!
