Veronicastrum virginicum 'Red Arrows' - 2026

Veronicastrum virginicum 'Red Arrows' is a tall, striking perennial that produces narrow spires of soft reddish-pink flowers from midsummer to early autumn. The upright stems rise above whorls of lance-shaped green leaves, giving the plant an elegant, architectural form that adds height and structure to mixed borders or naturalistic plantings. Its vivid, subtly coloured blooms create a vertical accent and blend beautifully with ornamental grasses and late-summer perennials.

This variety thrives in moist, fertile, well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. Regular watering encourages vigorous growth and prolonged flowering. Once established, ‘Red Arrows’ is low-maintenance, requiring only the removal of spent stems and occasional division to rejuvenate clumps. Its nectar-rich flowers attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, combining ornamental charm with ecological value in wildlife-friendly gardens.
