Veronica ‘Red Fox’ is a compact and long-blooming perennial prized for its upright spikes of rosy-pink flowers. This cultivar forms neat clumps of dark green, lance-shaped foliage that provide a tidy base for the vibrant flower spikes that appear in early summer. The dense blooms rise above the foliage on slender stems, creating strong vertical accents in perennial borders and pollinator gardens. ‘Red Fox’ is especially valued for its rich pink color, which stands out beautifully among blues, purples, and silvers in mixed plantings while attracting bees and butterflies.
