Eye-catching early spring flowers and a spreading, ground-hugging form make Creeping Phlox a fantastic plant for edging, rock gardens, and spilling down walls. Dense, evergreen, needle-like foliage remains a rich emerald green all season long. Star-shaped bright lavender blue flowers literally smother the foliage for several weeks in May and early June. Also makes a fine small-scale groundcover. Well-drained soil is a must.
