Cushions of needle-like foliage give green carpets of valuable, weed suppressing cover which are evergreen. These are topped by rich, cerise, red blooms with deeper centres and yellow accents from late spring to early summer. Phlox subulata ‘Scarlet Flame’ is a bright and colourful way to add elegance in borders and containers. It also creates a visual spectacle as it tumbles over walls, spills from crevices and creeps along the edges of a path to add floriferous or foliage interest. Phlox subulata ‘Scarlet Flame’ and its relatives are native to north America. It offers beneficial sustenance to visiting pollinators and tends to be left alone by unwanted garden pests. Plant with other creeping phlox for uniformity of style and variance of colour or other foliage interest, such as ivy and hostas, to create a verdant oasis. Prefers a spot in well-drained soil which benefits from full sun or partial shade with any aspect other than north facing. Reaches a maximum height of 20cm with a spread of 50cm.
