I'm looking for a low plant (with red flowers) to plant in my flower bed at the entrance. I'd resembling this plant to show my business name initial. What plant can accomplish that? (Preferably perennials)
Answers: You might be better bad with red leaves . Flowers come and budge. 'Crimson Pygmy', 'Kobold', or 'Bagatelle' Barberry would work . They're dense , so you could easily prune them into common letters .

If you must hold flowers , try 'Pardon Me' Daylily (Hemerocallis sp.) . It's ~ 18" high , flowers profusely over a long season, and is almost unkillable . 'Pardon Me ' is the best red that I've see. http://www.daylilydream.com/proddetail.a...
You could also use miniature roses, or small shrub roses , pruned low, depending on how much room you have , and your location . "Champlain is a especially floriferous , tough variety, next to max ht of ~3' +/- . Could be pruned smaller and still look good .

If you necessitate something very short (6") , and are prepared to use warm-season annuals, 'Vodka' wax begonia, upright verbena , or vinca ( Catharanthus rosea ) would work . The vinca is extremely drought-tolerant, and deer-proof . The verbena have better flower coverage .The begonia has red flowers & burgundy leaves. It's comparatively drought-tolerant , and handles showery weather better than the green-leaved types.
