Proven Winners® Intensea® Red Hot Phlox (Phlox drummondii ‘Intensea Red Hot’)

Proven Winners® Intensea® Red Hot Phlox (Phlox drummondii ‘Intensea Red Hot’) is a vibrant flowering annual known for its intense scarlet-red blooms and exceptional heat tolerance. This vigorous plant produces masses of colourful flowers continuously from late spring until frost, creating brilliant colour in hanging baskets, patio containers, borders, and landscape plantings.

The vivid blooms form dense flower clusters that completely cover the plant throughout the growing season while attracting butterflies and pollinators to the garden. Its naturally mounded and spreading growth habit allows it to quickly fill containers and blend beautifully with petunias, calibrachoa, and other sun-loving annuals. Unlike traditional phlox varieties, the Intensea® series is bred for improved summer performance and long-lasting flowering in warm weather.

In Alberta, Intensea® Red Hot performs best in full sun with fertile, well-drained soil and regular watering. It thrives during Prairie summers and maintains strong bloom production even during periods of heat. Regular fertilizing encourages lush growth and nonstop flowering all season long.
