Description How to Grow More Info Delivery

Despite their delicate appearance, Creeping Phlox are incredibly tough plants, coping well with dry soils and hot, sunny spots once established. They form mounds of soft, evergreen, needle-like foliage that gently spreads to create weed-supressing, drought resistant ground cover. Cascading beautifully from troughs, wall crevices and over border edges, these resilient plants are absolutely smothered in flowers from late spring into summer. Height: 15cm (6"). Spread: 50cm (20").

Creeping Phlox Trio Collection comprises the following varieties:

Phlox ‘Candy Stripes’ – A very pretty and popular variety. White petals are broadly striped with a soft pink.
Phlox ‘Drummond’s Pink’ - Large, rich rose-pink flowers.
Phlox ‘Emerald Cushion Blue’ - Masses of pale mauve flowers.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

Pot up creeping phlox plants and grow them on until large enough to plant outdoors in borders and rockeries. Transplant Phlox subulata into fertile, well drained soil in full sun or semi shade.

Once established, moss phlox is reasonably drought tolerant and requires little attention, except occasional watering during particularly dry periods.
