Creeping Phlox Collection

It's So Easy to Set the Scene!

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 creeping 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 stunning ground cover grows just about anywhere with very little effort. Bright, cheery colour appears quickly in late spring amid the needlelike, semi evergreen leaves to create a lush carpet, even in poor, dry, sandy soil. Looks fabulous in borders and creeping over rock gardens! When contrasting colours are planted together they create a patchwork of glorious hues.


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.

A Helping Hand in Gorgeous Hues
Carefree creeping 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.
