'Pink Fire' is an endearing variety of the native Trailing Phlox that will bring joy to your garden with its cheerful pink blooms. This low-growing evergreen perennial forms a tight mat of shiny, needle-like foliage, creating a beautiful groundcover that thrives in hot, well-drained sites. Its flowers dance in the spring breeze from early to late in the season and attract a delightful array of our smaller pollinators. This charming plant offers year-round interest with its evergreen foliage and spring flowers, making it a perfect choice for rock gardens, slopes, and sandy areas.
