Creeping Phlox

About this plant

This vigorous, low-growing perennial is a true garden workhorse, perfect for creating a dramatic groundcover or softening the edges of pathways and rock gardens. Its dense, emerald-green foliage forms a lush backdrop for the profusion of star-shaped, fragrant pink flowers that emerge in late spring. 'Pink Ridge' is renowned for its exceptional disease resistance and adaptability, thriving in a range of conditions once established. It spreads steadily but politely, forming a beautiful tapestry of color that suppresses weeds and adds year-round interest to your landscape. Ideal for naturalizing, woodland gardens, or even cascading over retaining walls, this Phlox offers a long-lasting show of color with minimal effort, making it a favorite for both novice and experienced gardeners.

Care & maintenance

Provide well-drained soil and consistent moisture, especially during dry spells. Fertilize lightly in spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage further flowering, although this is not strictly necessary for performance. Divide every 3-4 years in early spring or fall to maintain vigor.
