Phlox subulata 'Scarlet Flame' (Creeping Phlox)

Phlox subulata ‘Scarlet Flame’
(Creeping Phlox)

‘Scarlet Flame’ creates a dense carpet of star-shaped, magenta-pink flowers over dark green, needle-like foliage in mid to late spring. Its low, spreading habit brings a strong burst of color to sunny garden spaces.

This hardy groundcover is especially useful on slopes and steep banks, along garden edges, in rock gardens, or cascading over retaining walls. Its spreading growth helps soften hard edges and fill open spaces between stones and other low-growing plants.

Easy to maintain once established, ‘Scarlet Flame’ performs best in full sun and well-drained soil.
