Phlox paniculata 'Red Riding Hood'

Phlox paniculata ‘Red Riding Hood’
(Summer Phlox)

‘Red Riding Hood’ is a compact garden phlox with vivid cherry-red flowers and a sweet fragrance. Blooming from midsummer into early fall, it adds bold color to sunny borders and mixed perennial plantings.

Its upright stems are covered in lush green foliage with good mildew resistance, helping the plant stay attractive through the season. The compact habit makes it easy to use near the front or middle of borders, in pollinator gardens, or in smaller garden spaces.

The fragrant blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds and also make a colorful addition to fresh-cut arrangements.
