The beautiful creeping phlox! Great for early spring!

If this is your first time seeing it keep in mind once the flowers drop after a couple of weeks you have a wonderful green mound the rest of the summer.

We just planted this exact creeping phlox – the color is called Emerald Blue! We found them at our local Lowe’s for a great price

Creeping phlox. Native to eastern US. Spring flowering. Drought resistant and likes full sun!

Those are moss phlox (Phlox subulata). Sometimes called creeping phlox. Not to be confused with star rock phlox (Phlox stolonifera) which is also know as creeping phlox.

That is very healthy and happy Creeping Phlox.
You can find it in lavender, blue, white or pink and most garden centers will have it this time of year.

Thank you all for the quick response, I will start looking

Watch out! It’s pokey! Creeping phlox.
Gorgeous ground cover, but the green parts are kinda sharp. I have it planted under my roses in a raised bed.

Ah! My wife who is generally extremely uninterested in all the gardening I do asked for those yesterday!

So just a heads up, these are beautiful in early spring and there are a lot of different colors. I think they’re great. They’re evergreens and not everyone loves they way they look when they aren’t in bloom. (Personally, I like them year round).

Creeping phlox. It will spread a little each year, but not crazy. They come mostly in pastel colors and tolerate sun and part shade.
They don’t bloom real long in spring but when they’re done they are a nice clump of greenery

Has anyone else experienced deer devouring their Phlox? I thought they were at least somewhat resistant, but like most everything else I’m finding out my deer are starved enough.

Plox, they spread, so leave room between the plantings& be patient. It took years to get to this lush blanket.

It’s creeping phlox. Phlox comes in a shit ton of colors and varieties. Creeping is the common name for the one that doesn’t grow high and spreads out very fast.

One of my favorite plants.

If you have an iPhone, then it can recognize the plant just from the picture you took. A very useful feature. Just snap a photo and then look at its details in the Photos app

I love these so much

By the time you get to the garden center, the phlox subulata may be out of bloom, they can be ephemeral but have big impact when in bloom. Better to plant when not in bloom anyway, and once established are reliable, like phlox-work 😂

Yes, creeping phlox. It is a wonderful native plant.

Mountain Pinks, another common name,,,referring to any color.

Mounding phlox. I got it as Drummond’s Pink and keep where only rain waters it. It has spread beautifully this year. I once made the mistake of buying seeds for phlox, and it was not the mounding type and seeded all over.

I have one plant and it’s pretty small. If you crowd them together then they will hedge like that. Phlox.

These are great for retaining walls also because theyll hang over and look really nice

Would this be good to hold onto a slopped bare dirt?

was about to say it’s some kind of phlox, but others beat me to it!! Love it, beautiful flower.

I just got some of these for my garden too! I have some rocks and a little hill where the water drains. It’s the perfect spot for these to hopefully spread all over. Looking forward to seeing the vision next spring! Aha

Phlox. My grandma called it thrift, so i still call it that. Don’t know if others call it that.
