Creeping Phlox Collection
Creeping Phlox Collection
It's So Easy to Set the Scene!
A Filler AND a Thriller!
This handy collection keeps otherwise sparse areas lively with low-maintenance, gorgeous greens all year long. Creeping phlox provides even more colour interest come late spring, when the low-growing, needlelike foliage is completely covered in bright blooms. This collection has three different, complementing colours that will form a stunning patchwork pattern, as if your garden is enveloped in a vibrant quilt!
Includes 3 each of Blue Emerald, Red Wings and Drummond's Pink
Blue Emerald : This low-growing spreader blankets your garden with lavender-blue flowers, creating a stunning contrast with pinks and whites. Ideal for front borders and ground cover, this phlox thrives on slopes, combating soil erosion.
Red Wings : Transform your garden with this fast-spreading, drought-tolerant award winner. Its striking pinkish-red flowers display deep red centres and are set off by the dark green, awl-shaped foliage. Its vibrant, creeping carpet of flowers last 3-4 weeks.
Drummond's Pink : Boasting larger flowers than many other phlox, its rich rose-pink clusters create a lush floral ground cover. Ideal for borders and creeping through rock gardens, it attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and beneficial bees.
