Red Riding Hood Garden Phlox
(Phlox paniculata 'Red Riding Hood')
Add bold, long-lasting colour to your garden with Red Riding Hood Garden Phlox, a compact and vibrant perennial that lights up sunny borders with deep rose-red blooms from mid to late summer. This standout variety is known for its brilliant flower clusters, sweet fragrance, and strong performance in cold climates, making it an excellent choice for Manitoba gardeners.
Unlike taller phlox varieties, Red Riding Hood maintains a tidy, mid-sized habit that works beautifully in smaller gardens, mixed borders, or container plantings. Its mildew-resistant foliage stays attractive through the season, while the nectar-rich blooms attract butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds.
Reliable, eye-catching, and easy to care for, Red Riding Hood brings classic cottage charm and pollinator support to any sunny space.
