Zone: 4RED FOX SPIKE SPEEDWELL
Veronica spicata 'Red Fox' is a classic, long-standing favorite in the landscape trade, prized for its exceptionally vibrant, deep rose-pink to reddish-purple flower spikes. It is a compact grower, typically reaching 12 to 15 inches in height, which makes it perfect for the front of the border. It maintains a tidy, upright, and bushy habit, with lush, deep green foliage that stays clean throughout the season. The spikes are dense and tubular, creating a strong vertical accent that persists from early to mid-summer. Its reliable, long-blooming nature and saturated color make it a high-value item for customers looking for a splash of warmth in their perennial beds.
Veronica 'Red Fox' thrives in full sun to maintain its sturdy stature and prevent the stems from leaning. It prefers fertile, well-draining soil; steer clear of heavy, waterlogged sites, as these are highly likely to induce crown rot. Design-wise, 'Red Fox' acts as a vibrant color anchor in the front of a border, working beautifully when massed in groups of five or seven to create a consistent drift of color.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Position the plant in a location that matches its specific sunlight requirements. Ensure the soil is well-draining; avoid sites where water pools, as most varieties prefer consistent moisture rather than saturation. When watering, target the root zone rather than the foliage, and check that the top inch of soil is dry to the touch before hydrating again. Apply a 1-to-2-inch layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the mulch a few inches away from the crown to prevent rot. Finally, incorporate a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring if your soil needs the boost.
