Creeping Phlox are a classic harbinger of spring, exploding with color as a sign that the final days of winter are past. ‘Eye Candy’ forms a mound of bright green, needle-like foliage that is totally covered in light lavender pink flowers with a dark wine purple eye
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.
