About This Variety
Meet This Variety
Creeping phlox in this seed listing is identified at genus level as Phlox spp. because the photos do not confirm a single species. The low, mat-forming perennial habit and star-shaped flowers bring spring color to path edges, rock gardens, slopes, and the front of borders.
Choose full sun to light shade and moist, well-drained soil. Sow according to the packet directions, keep the surface evenly moist while seedlings establish, and allow space for mature plants to spread.
