Phlox Subulata Scarlet Flame | 9cm Pot

A creeping phlox with rich scarlet-pink flowers. Position: full sun or lightly dappled shade Soil: humus-rich, moist but freely draining soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: May to June Hardiness: fully hardy In late spring, the spreading mound of slender evergreen foliage is virtually smothered by an abundance of star-like, reddish pink flowers. It’s ideal for spilling over the edges of a pot, but it can also be used to soften the edges of a path – or add colour to a rockery or sunny slope. Garden care: Give it a trim after the flowers have faded and lift and divide clumps in autumn.
