Red Fox Speedwell

Red fox speedwell is a small, compact, perennial flower. It is grown for its upright spikes of densely arranged, dark pink flowers. The flowers are in bloom for a long period and make a nice vertical accent next to mounded plants.

Since red fox is relatively small, it makes a good plant for the front of a planting bed. It grows best with regular watering.
