Phlox subulata 'Emerald Blue'

Phlox subulata (Creeping Phlox)

Creeping Phlox

Blue flowers, evergreen mats of moss-like foliage.

Growing & Maintenance Tips
Very effective groundcover. Shearing the plants back halfway following flowering will promote dense foliage and some rebloom. The mass of bright flowers is a very welcome sight in the spring after a long winter. The carpet-like mat is useful for edging, walls, and as a groundcover on a sunny slope.
