Returns Simplified.Phlox subulata, commonly known as Creeping Phlox or Moss Phlox, is a stunning ground cover that creates a carpet of vibrant spring blooms. This low-growing perennial spreads steadily, forming dense mats of evergreen foliage adorned with countless star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, purple, blue, or white. Perfect for rock gardens, borders, or cascading over walls, this versatile plant adds dramatic color and texture to any landscape.
Creeping Phlox is remarkably easy to maintain once established. Water regularly during the first growing season to establish a deep root system. After establishment, it becomes drought tolerant but benefits from occasional watering during extended dry spells. Trim back after flowering to maintain shape and promote dense growth. Apply a light layer of compost in spring to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooming.
Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 15-18 inches apart. Dig holes twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Add a layer of mulch around the plant, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. For best results, plant in well-draining soil and full sun locations.
