Phlox subulata 'Creeping Pink'
Common names include Moss Phlox, Mountain Phlox, and Creeping Phlox.
An evergreen, mat forming, herbaceous perennial with soft, needle-like foliage. Spreads to form a carpet of hot pink flowers that bloom in spring. While its main blooming season is Spring, it often has sporadic blooming into late fall. Great as a groundcover; although it looks delicate, it can handle foot traffic. Great mixed into a tapestry lawn. Also lovely used in rock gardens, on slopes, in containers and garden bed borders.
This plant thrives in humusy, medium-moist, well-draining soil. Prefers some shade from the hot Texas sun, but prefers full sun in northern regions. Flourishes in sandy or gravelly soils and is more tolerant of hot, dry conditions compared to other phlox species. Given ideal conditions, it will self-seed. To maintain shape, encourage denser growth, and possibly promote additional blooming, cut back the stems by half after flowering.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
