Phlox creeping phox (Creeping Phlox)
Color Name: Drummond's Pink
Drummond's Pink has beautiful large, rich rose colored flowers. With bright, vibrant color, it will certainly be the belle of the garden in springtime! It is drought tolerant and grows easily on slopes.
Creeping phlox is a low-growing species which forms a carpet-like mat no taller than 8". This popular little perennial is best utilized in rocky areas, on slopes, and in flower borders.
Growing Tips: Creeping phlox is a versatile, easy to grow groundcover for full sun. Gritty, slightly alkaline soils are preferred and good drainage is essential. It's a good idea to shear this plant back and clean up any dead foliage in early summer, just after it's finished blooming. This will produce denser foliage and will encourage it to rebloom. Divisions can be made every few years in summer.
