Gardening Trends for 2025
Welcome to our new site
Phlox subulata ‘Red Wings’ is an award-winning, evergreen perennial that delivers a vibrant spring display with masses of starry, pinkish-crimson flowers accented by rich dark red eyes. Blooming in mid to late spring, its vivid blossoms blanket the fine, needle-like green foliage, creating a dense, colourful carpet that lasts for several weeks. This vigorous, low-growing variety spreads to form a soft, moss-like ground cover, making it ideal for rock gardens, slopes, edging, or cascading over walls. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is drought-tolerant once established, deer-resistant, and easy to maintain. A recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, ‘Red Wings’ is a reliable and eye-catching choice for adding bold colour and texture to sunny garden spaces.

🌱 Perennial Care Guide (Gatineau/Ottawa)
All perennials at Nesbitt’s are suitable for hardiness zones 1 through 5. This means they are selected to withstand a wide range of colder climates and seasonal temperature variations in our region.
Perennials are expected to return year after year when planted in the right conditions. To support strong root development and long-term performance, use well-draining soil and enrich with compost or peat moss. Choosing the right plant for your garden’s light and soil will help ensure reliable growth and consistent blooms each season.
