Phlox Creeping Scarlet Flame

Phlox Subulata Scarlet Flame produces vibrant red blooms that create a bold carpet of color in spring. Its low, spreading growth makes it perfect for filling in spaces and adding visual impact.

Prefers full sun, is drought tolerant, and a fast growing, low maintenance groundcover that is also pollinator-friendly.

Maintenance Tip:
Water consistently during establishment and keep soil evenly moist during active growth, especially in hot weather. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage longer flowering (for upright varieties) and improve appearance. For tall phlox, ensure good air circulation to reduce mildew. Cut back in late fall or early spring, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding.
