Red Riding Hood is a new perennial phlox with vibrant red blossoms. Each inflorescence may consist up to 25 flowers that come out from early July until end August, possibly early September. It makes a compact clump of short stems 30-40 cm tall. Deciduous leaves are mid green, lanceolate, highly resistant to powdery mildew.
Growing phlox is easy. It likes almost any garden soil, fertile or poor, but with enough nutrients the flowering will be heavier and the plant will not suffer common phlox diseases. They are long-lived plants that will stay in your garden until you dig them out. Sunny location is preferred but will flower in partial shade, too. Hardy to about -34°C (USDA zone 4).
