Veronica fruticans Rock Speedwell RR DDD N
Our many jaunts up to the Ben Lawers Corrie (12 for me to date) have led us to believe that the ideal date is July 13th and this plant strongly influences that choice. It flowers usually a little earlier than the other Ben Lawers specialties and certainly finishes flowering before the end of July. You need to find a date which allows you to see the best of the rarities but which will allow you to see this, arguably the most beautiful of the Speedwells in full flower.
We counted more than twelve plants in flower on this very hot, cloudless day.
Veronica fruticans is a high mountain plant found only in the highlands of central Scotland in the British Isles.
