Product Description
Phlox subulata 'Blue Emerald' (25) Bare Root Plants
Common name: Phlox-Creeping, Moss Pinks.
'Blue Emerald' has delicate lavender blue flowers which blanket the foliage in mid to late spring. Its profuse carpet of flowers creates a subtle swathe of color when in bloom. Creeping Phlox is a versatile, easy to grow groundcover which forms a carpet-like mat. Creeping Phlox is a low-growing species which forms a carpet-like mat no taller than 6". This popular little perennial is best utilized in rocky areas, on slopes, and in flower borders.
Creeping Phlox is a versatile, easy to grow groundcover for full sun. Gritty, neutral 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.

Im ewady for Spring blossoms
I ordered 50 plants with some expectation I would lose a couple. I received 50 vibrant Uber heathy plants. They have been in the ground for 16 days and all remain healthy. I love this type of ground cover flowers and have been buying them for years. These flowers I received are the very best ever at any price. I am working on my next purchase!
