Phlox is a gardener favorite that can easily handle challenging conditions and still look amazing. The Spring Hot Pink Moss Phlox or Phlox subulata blooms in late April. Heart-shaped petals are a bold shade of pink. Needle-like leaves are dark green and fill in the spaces between the blooms. Phlox is a tough, drought-tolerant plant that can handle hot summer temperatures and forgetful gardeners.

Create a border or feature this phlox in a rock garden where the bold flowers will contrast the hardscape. Phlox is a spreader and makes a wonderful groundcover. Let the stems cascade over a stone wall or container edge to add an extra dimension. The sweet nectar attracts pollinators and makes this plant a viable part of the ecosystem. This plant grows as a perennial in zones 3 through 8.

Spring Hot Pink Moss Phlox Care

The Spring Hot Pink Moss Phlox grows well in full sun to partial shade. While this plant likes dampness, it does not like to be soggy, so the soil should be well drained. Phlox prefers neutral to alkaline soil. Feed phlox using a balanced fertilizer in the spring and again in the summer.

Prune phlox after the flowers fade in late spring or early summer. This plant only blooms once per growing season but trimming the plant sets it up for abundant blooms next spring.

Spring Hot Pink Moss Phlox Spacing

Spring Hot Pink Moss Phlox is a mat-forming perennial that grows 4 to 6 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide. Space plants at least 18 inches apart to create a lovely carpet of flowers.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
