About

'Everflame' Red Veronica: a blaze of colour in your garden all year round

Red Veronica 'Everflame' (Uncinia rubra) is a perennial grass with intense coppery-red foliage, capable of transforming a flower bed, border or patio container into a living picture. Its fine, arching leaves, tinged with deep russet, add colour, texture and movement even in winter, when the garden often lacks character.

  • Foliage: evergreen, coppery-red to mahogany, fine linear arching leaves up to 50 cm, with the most intense colour in the sun.
  • Exposure: full sun, ideally at least 6 hours of direct light per day to maximise the intensity of the red colour.
  • Hardiness: semi-hardy, tolerates light, short frosts but requires winter protection (thick mulch or moving into a cold frame) when temperatures fall below -5 °C.
  • Uses: flower beds, borders, patio containers, ground cover, and for adding structure when planted with grasses or perennials.
  • Distinctive features: colourful foliage all year round, supports biodiversity, requires no complex maintenance, and grows densely to quickly cover the base of shrubs.
  • Packaging: depending on the option selected, 17 cm pot, 50 cm tall, shipped directly from our partner nurseries.

Ordered directly from the grower, your Red Veronica 'Everflame' arrives in excellent condition, ready to be planted and add colour to your garden from its first season.

Everything You Need to Know About Red Veronica 'Everflame' (Uncinia rubra) - ornamental grass - 17 cm pot - Height 50 cm

Is Red Mountain Pine 'Everflame' (Uncinia rubra) frost-hardy?

The red Verainia 'Everflame' (Uncinia rubra) is a semi-hardy plant: it can withstand light, occasional frosts down to around -5°C without damage, provided the soil is well-drained. However, prolonged frost or temperatures below -7 or -8°C can seriously damage the foliage and compromise spring recovery. To protect it, apply a thick layer of mulch (10 to 15 cm of fallen leaves or bark) around the base in November in cold regions.

What exposure should be chosen for planting a Red Swiss-Cheese plant 'Everflame' in the garden?

The 'Everflame' red knotweed (Uncinia rubra) is a grass that requires full sun to express the full richness of its coppery-red color. A location receiving at least 6 hours of direct light per day is ideal. In too much shade, the leaves take on a much less decorative brownish-green hue and the plant grows less densely. However, light late afternoon shade during very hot and dry summers remains acceptable in southern regions to prevent excessive drying out of the leaves.

How to plant the ‘Everflame’ red witch hazel in a mass planting or border?

To plant the 'Everflame' Red Valerian (Uncinia rubra) in a mass or border, choose a mild period, ideally in spring after the last frosts or in early autumn in milder regions. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball, incorporate well-rotted compost, and ensure the bottom of the hole is loose and well-drained. Space the clumps 30 to 40 cm apart to allow each plant to develop freely and form a dense mat without overcrowding.

Which plants should be paired with 'Everflame' red dock in the garden?

The 'Everflame' red coral bells (Heuchera rubra) pair well with many plants thanks to the warmth of its coppery-red foliage. It creates a striking contrast with bright green foliage such as hostas, sun-loving ferns, or blue-silver grasses like fescues. In a border, pair it with flowering perennials whose orange or yellow hues (daylilies, coneflowers) extend its warm palette. It also works very well in container plantings with purple sedums or agapanthus, whose blue flowers offer a dynamic contrast.

When and how to prune the 'Everflame' red lacebark?

The 'Everflame' red veronica (Uncinia rubra) requires very little pruning. Maintenance mainly consists of removing dry or yellowing leaves as they appear, which can easily be done by gently pulling them off by hand. In early spring, generally in March before new growth begins, you can cut the clump back to two-thirds of its height if the foliage has been damaged by winter frost. This light pruning stimulates the growth of new, brightly colored leaves.

Can 'Everflame' red cordgrass grow in a pot on a balcony or terrace?

Yes, the 'Everflame' Red Mountain Mint (Uncinia rubra) grows very well in pots on sun-exposed balconies or terraces. Choose a container at least 20 to 25 cm in diameter to give the roots enough room, and make sure it has a drainage hole at the bottom. Use a well-draining mix of quality potting soil with 20% perlite or fine gravel. Watering will be more frequent than when planted in the ground, especially during the summer: check the moisture of the potting mix every two days in hot weather.

How fast does the ‘Everflame’ red pincushion flower (Uncinia rubra) grow?

The 'Everflame' red spurge (Uncinia rubra) has what is described as a moderate growth rate: it is neither invasive nor too slow to establish itself. In good conditions (full sun, well-drained and slightly moist soil), a clump planted in spring reaches its final shape in one to two seasons. It does not produce creeping rhizomes and stays within its limits, making it ideal for a structured border or in a pot without the risk of spreading. Its growth is naturally more active in spring and early summer; it slows down considerably in dry summer and during the cold months.

The essentials about Red Veronica 'Everflame' (Uncinia rubra) - ornamental grass - 17 cm pot - Height 50 cm

Red Veronica 'Everflame' (Uncinia rubra): characteristics and benefits

The Red Veronica 'Everflame' (Uncinia rubra) is an evergreen ornamental grass native to New Zealand, belonging to the Cyperaceae family. It stands out with its intense copper-red to mahogany foliage, forming a dense, arching clump about 50 cm tall. Unlike many grasses that go unnoticed out of season, Uncinia rubra retains its spectacular colour all year round thanks to its evergreen foliage. Its fine, slightly channeled linear leaves catch the low light and make the flowerbed or patio glow even in the depths of winter.

Where to plant Red Veronica 'Everflame'? Exposure and hardiness

Red Veronica 'Everflame' thrives in full sun, an essential condition for its foliage to develop its deepest red colour. A location receiving at least 6 hours of direct light per day is ideal, whether in a garden bed, along a patio edge, or in a pot on a well-exposed balcony. Discover other shrubs and ornamental plants for the garden that will perfectly complement your foliage combinations.

How to care for Red Veronica 'Everflame'?

  • Soil: well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral, enriched with humus; in a pot, use a mixture of potting soil and perlite to prevent root suffocation.
  • Watering: regular at planting, then moderate once the plant is established; in a pot, monitor more closely in summer to prevent the growing medium from drying out completely.
  • Pruning: remove dry leaves throughout the seasons; lightly cut back by two-thirds in March if the foliage has suffered from the cold; never cut severely in autumn.
  • Exposure: full sun is essential for an intense red colour; partial shade in the late afternoon is tolerated in very hot regions.

Red Veronica 'Everflame' in the garden: foliage, combinations and decorative uses

The great strength of Red Veronica 'Everflame' lies in its consistent decorative appeal: its copper-red foliage remains present and colourful from January 1st to December 31st, without interruption. In spring, the young leaves emerge in a very pure, bright red before gradually darkening to a deep mahogany in summer and autumn. This warm palette pairs naturally with contrasting foliage: blue grasses (Festuca glauca), lime-green hostas, chartreuse euphorbias, or orange-flowering perennials such as daylilies and kniphofias.
