Phlox subulata 'Scarlet Flame' (Moss Pinks)

The scarlet red to crimson flowers in April and May will not go unnoticed by passersby. Plant along the garden path or rock wall and watch your kitten curl up in the bright green moss-like foliage. The 4-6" tall foliage prefers some afternoon shade in hot summers and is fairly drought tolerant. Dead-heading will encourage re-blooming.
