Description How to Grow More Info Delivery Reviews

Use Phlox subulata 'Pharao Red Eye' to create a gorgeously fragrant spreading ground cover in borders, rockeries or gravel gardens. This low-growing creeping hardy phlox produces a profusion of beautiful flowers from late spring onwards every year, each flower is a refreshing shade of cool white, detailed with a pink-centre. As this resilient plant established over the years it forms a soft customer of colour which slowly creeps over stones, spills over retaining walls or nestles itself between the stones in a rockery. Growing well in a sunny spot with free-draining soil, you can also enjoy these effective, weed-suppressing ground cover in borders too. Height: 15cm (6"). Spread: 50cm (20").

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 phlox plants and grow them on in frost free conditions until large enough to plant outdoors. When they are well grown and all risk of frost has passed, acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before transplanting into their final positions. Grow phlox plants in any fertile, moist, well drained soil in full sun or semi-shade. Incorporate plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost into the soil prior to planting.

Feed and water regularly, particularly during dry periods, until young phlox plants are fully established. After flowering, lightly shear the stems to encourage lots of fresh new growth.

Van Meuwen strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3.
