Breck's® Carpet Phlox Collection
Dress the Yard in Year-Round Colour
A Filler AND a Thriller!
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 six different, complementing colours that will form a stunning patchwork pattern, as if your garden is enveloped in a vibrant quilt!
