Phlox

About this plant

Phlox Stolonifera 'Sherwood Purple' is a charming and robust groundcover perennial, celebrated for its prolific display of rich purple-blue flowers. Emerging in late spring to early summer, these star-shaped blooms form a dazzling carpet, attracting beneficial pollinators and adding a touch of enchantment to shady garden spots. Its semi-evergreen foliage provides year-round texture and interest. This low-growing phlox variety is an excellent choice for naturalizing areas, planting along borders, or cascading over rock walls. Its vigorous yet non-invasive growth habit makes it a reliable performer, establishing quickly to suppress weeds and create a lush, verdant backdrop. 'Sherwood Purple' is remarkably adaptable and low-maintenance, thriving in a variety of conditions once established. Its ability to spread gently and reliably makes it a landscaping favorite for those seeking long-lasting beauty with minimal effort.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal care once established. Deadhead spent flowers for a tidier appearance, though not strictly necessary for continued blooming. Divide clumps every few years in early spring or fall to maintain vigor and spread. Tolerant of various soil types but prefers well-draining, organically rich soil.
