DESCRIPTION
Phlox subulata ‘Ruby Riot’ forms dense mats of fine, needle-like green foliage that create a neat ground layer year-round. In early to mid spring, vivid ruby-violet flowers blanket the plant, each bloom showing a slightly darker eye that adds richness and visual depth.
Blooming as winter recedes, this cultivar originates from selections of an eastern North American species. It suits slopes, rock gardens, borders, and path edges, where its spreading habit knits spaces together and provides early-season color that remains tidy after flowering finishes through spring plantings, complementing bulbs, stonework, and low perennials without overwhelming neighboring plants in small garden spaces.
