Carpet Phlox Collection
Carpet Phlox Collection
Create a picturesque landscape with little, colourful flowers cascading down a dry-stacked stone wall or creeping along a rock garden. The spot in the sun that gets a bit too bright for other plants is just right for carpet phlox. There are so many places for this versatile collection—fill a border, enhance a mixed container planting or make a sweeping, perennializing ground cover!
This handy collection keeps otherwise sparse areas lively with low-maintenance, gorgeous greens all year long. Carpet phlox provides even more colour interest come late spring, when the low-growing, needlelike foliage is completely covered in bright blooms. This collection has four different, complementing colours that will form a stunning patchwork pattern, as if your garden is enveloped in a vibrant quilt!
A Helping Hand in Gorgeous Hues
Carefree carpet phlox (Phlox subulata) is highly useful around the garden:
• Erosion Control—keeps poor, sandy or dry soil in place; perfect for a loose slope.
• Weed Suppression—as an evergreen ground cover, it'll keep these nuisance species under control.
• Drought Tolerance—once established, this sun lover won't need too much water.
This Collection Includes 1 each of Red Wing, Blue Emerald, Drummond's Pink and North Hills

To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant.
