Product Description

Flowering ground cover
Semi-evergreen foliage
Grows 4-6 in. tall
Tolerates poor soils
Deer tend to avoid

Creeping phlox makes a big impact when it blooms in early to mid spring. Emerald Blue's lavender-blue flowers look impressive when planted en masse or grouped with another color of creeping phlox. This easy-to-grow ground cover is ideal for planting in rock gardens, along garden edges or draping over garden walls. It forms a mat of semi-evergreen foliage that grows 4-6 in. tall. Thrives in poor soils. 2 plants cover 3 sq. ft. Grows best when planted in full sun to partial shade. Zones 4-9.
