Phlox subulata 'Red Wings'

Choose Red Wings Creeping Phlox for a low, spreading spring carpet in hot, well-drained spots where crimson-red bloom matters. The tradeoff: it is not a weed-smothering fix for wet soil, deep shade, or areas needing height.

Buy This If

You want a low spring bloom.
Your site drains well.
Deer pressure is a concern.

Skip This If

The soil stays wet.
You need summer-long flowers.
The area is mostly shaded.

PGNE Report Card

Category	Grade	Why
Landscape Impact	A-	The spring bloom gives strong color up front, but the plant is quieter after flowering.
Growth Rate	A-	It spreads quickly when planted in well-drained soil with enough light.
Maintenance	B	It needs little routine care, though weeding matters while it fills in.
Deer Resistance	B+	Deer tend to leave this alone, though hungry deer may sample it where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit	B+	It stays low, but it does spread, so give it room to knit together.
Screening Value	F	This plant is groundcover only and will not block views or create privacy.

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Red Wings for sunny front edges, slopes, and stone borders where drainage is good. Do the soil prep first; creeping phlox struggles more from wet roots than from dry conditions.

Customers Usually Ask

Will it stay green after spring?

Yes, it forms a low green mat after bloom, but the main show is spring.

Can it handle deer?

Yes, it is a strong option for deer-prone properties.

Will it choke out weeds?

Not at first; keep weeds down while the plants spread and knit together.
