Garden Plant: Red Wings Creeping Phlox
Red Wings Creeping Phlox
Product Description: Red Wings Creeping Phlox
A Vivid Carpet of Color!
This little plant is not for the faint-of-heart gardener or someone who likes living in quiet obscurity.
Only buy Red Wings Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata \’Red Wings’) if you are ready for the attention it is going to bring you. Trust us when we tell you that it is one of those plants that will make people stop their cars and come to your door just to ask you what it is.
Every spring this petite evergreen perennial is completely smothered in deep crimson flowers with dark centers. (And when we say smothered, we mean that the flowers are so thick you might not see any green foliage at all through them!) Whether you plant several as a groundcover or a couple as an accent in a rock garden or just one cascading over a garden wall you are going to be stopping traffic!
Red Wings is very drought tolerant once it is established. It is native to rocky embankments and the nooks and crannies of crumbling walls in Appalachia, so you know that it takes the fast draining crummy soil of the elevated spots in your yard. Use it on embankments, along the edges of flagstone patios or spilling over curbs in notorious \’hell-strips’ or \’concrete gardens’ between the sidewalk and the road.
The rich color will offset other spring flowers and stands out from across the garden. But despite its eye-catching color it isn’t a garden diva. It doesn’t require pruning to keep its shape and only infrequent watering once it is established.
Go ahead and be bold! Let them stop and ask. Order your Red Wings Creeping Phlox from us today.
