Red Wing Creeping Phlox is a stunning ground cover perennial that creates a carpet of vibrant red blooms in spring. This low-growing plant spreads gracefully across the ground, forming dense mats of evergreen foliage that suppress weeds and provide year-round interest. The flowers are a deep crimson red with darker eyes, creating a spectacular display when in full bloom.
Creeping Phlox is remarkably easy to maintain and requires minimal attention once established. Trim back the foliage after flowering to maintain a neat appearance and promote denser growth. Remove any dead or yellowing foliage throughout the growing season. Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooming. This plant is deer resistant and generally pest-free, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance gardens.
Plant Red Wing Creeping Phlox in spring or fall, spacing plants 18-24 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring it sits at the same level as it was in the container. Backfill with soil, firming gently to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and maintain consistent moisture until established. Apply a 2-inch layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot.
