Veronica 'Red Fox'
Red Fox Speedwell, Spike Speedwell
Red Fox Speedwell sends dense spikes of deep rose-red flowers above glossy green leaves. The tapering flower heads add a strong vertical line to a compact summer planting.
Its modest size suits the front of a border or repeated groups among other low perennials. Narrow leaves keep the foliage visually light beneath the concentrated flower display.
Choose full sun and well-drained soil. Provide adequate moisture during establishment.
