Creeping Phlox 'Fort Hill'

About this plant

Phlox subulata 'Fort Hill' transforms spring landscapes with a breathtaking display of luminous, deep pink flowers. This award-winning cultivar forms a tight, evergreen mat of needle-like foliage, providing year-round texture and preventing weed growth. Ideal for planting along paths, spilling over retaining walls, or as a vibrant groundcover in sunny borders, 'Fort Hill' offers unparalleled springtime beauty with minimal effort. Its low-growing habit and profuse blooming make it a garden favorite for adding cheerful color and natural charm. Beyond its ornamental appeal, Creeping Phlox 'Fort Hill' is remarkably tough and adaptable, thriving in a variety of conditions once established. It's an excellent choice for creating a living carpet of color that returns reliably every year.

Care & maintenance

Requires minimal maintenance once established. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage a tidier appearance, though not strictly necessary for continued blooming. Divide overcrowded clumps every 2-3 years in early spring or fall to maintain vigor. A light shearing after flowering can promote denser growth. Avoid heavy mulching directly around the crown.
