The Veronica ‘Red Fox’, Veronica spicata, also known as Speedwell, is an easy
to grow perennial that adds beauty to any garden. This upright perennial
produces wonderful deep pink flowers that bloom from June till September. With
its dark glossy green foliage, it has a plant height of 15” and a spread of
12-18”. ‘Red Fox’ needs a full sun area with well-drained soil. Deadhead the
flowers after the first bloom to prolong its bloom time. Veronica can be used
as a ground cover, in mass plantings or along borders. Try ‘Red Fox’ with
Hemerocallis ‘Stella de Oro’ or Veronica ‘White Icicles’. Veronica is great
for the first time gardener plus it is deer resistant.
