❮ ❯

Perfect for spring sales, this early bloomer is blanketed in bright periwinkle purple, pinwheel flowers with upturned petals. This hybrid phlox behaves like a restrained creeping phlox, slowly forming a carpet of dark green foliage; great for rock gardens and slopes. Adaptable to heat, cold and alkaline soils.

Pot in late summer for highest quality finished plants the following spring. Since the foliage is somewhat evergreen, growing in a cold frame under white poly is better than growing under clear cover. Hold plants cool in winter to avoid premature flowering.
