Phlox Creeping Emerald Blue

Phlox subulata 'Emerald Blue' produces soft lavender-blue flowers that create a calming, cool-toned carpet in spring. Its spreading habit makes it perfect for softening edges and covering slopes.

Prefers full sun, is drought tolerant, and a low maintenance, pollinator-friendly groundcover with excellent seasonal impact.

Maintenance Tip:
Water consistently during establishment and keep soil evenly moist during active growth, especially in hot weather. Deadhead spent blooms to encourage longer flowering (for upright varieties) and improve appearance. For tall phlox, ensure good air circulation to reduce mildew. Cut back in late fall or early spring, and divide clumps every few years to maintain vigor and prevent overcrowding.
