About this plant
Creeping Phlox (Phlox stolonifera) is a true gem for any landscape, offering a breathtaking display of spring color. This vigorous perennial forms a dense, spreading mat of evergreen foliage, even in winter, making it an excellent choice for groundcover, rock gardens, or spilling over retaining walls. From mid to late spring, a profusion of star-shaped flowers emerge in shades of pink, purple, or white, creating a spectacular, fragrant tapestry. Its dense growth habit effectively suppresses weeds, reducing maintenance and enhancing the beauty of your garden beds. 'A Cut Above' carefully selects and nurtures Creeping Phlox for its outstanding performance and prolific blooming, ensuring you receive healthy, ready-to-thrive specimens for your landscape.
Care & maintenance
Easily maintained, Creeping Phlox thrives with minimal intervention. After flowering, a light trim can encourage denser growth. Divide clumps every few years to rejuvenate plants and maintain vigor.
