Phlox subulata - Creeping Phlox

Market price from $8.90 to $13.50

Phlox subulata is a lively evergreen perennial, commonly known for its alias - the Creeping Phlox. With a low stance, extending up to two feet wide, it graces the landscape with a lush carpet of vibrant star-shaped flowers that blush in hues of pink, purple, white, and blue. As spring transpires into summer, these striking blossoms interweave a dramatic visual tapestry over rock gardens, stepping stones, and steep banks. Apart from the annual spring spectacle, the Creeping Phlox has dense, mossy foliage of needle-like leaves, providing an attractive green visage throughout the year. Lauded for being drought-tolerant and thriving in full sun to partial shade, this sturdy perennial is an ideal candidate for erosion control. It invigorates spaces with minimal care, and with its inherent adaptability to dry, rocky implications, Phlox Subulata is the embodiment of hardy elegance that adds both function and aesthetic value to any landscape.
