‘Blue Emerald’ has delicate lavender blue flowers which blanket the foliage in late spring. It creates a subtle swathe of color when in bloom.
Creeping phlox is a low-growing species which forms a carpet-like mat no taller than 6″. This popular little perennial is best utilized in rocky areas, on slopes, and in flower borders.
Phlox subulata performs well in average, dry to medium, well-drained soils in full sun. Prefers neutral to alkaline soils. Thrives in gritty, sandy loams. Superior soil drainage is the key to growing this plant well. Good heat and drought tolerance. Shear back after flowering to promote denser plants.
