Hybrid Spring Phlox, Creeping Phlox

It's easy to see how this series got its name when they explode into bloom come mid spring. The Bedazzled series members produce star-shaped, notched flowers that cover a rounded, spreading habit. T'Bedazzled Pink' has bright, medium pink flowers with a small, dark purple star-shaped eye. They bloom a few days to a week before Phlox subulata, depending on the weather. These will be moderate growers the first year in the garden, but will become a groundcover with age.

Growing and Maintenance Tips

Creeping phlox is a versatile, easy to grow groundcover for full sun. Gritty, slightly alkaline soils are prefered and good drainage is essential. It's a good idea to shear this plant back and clean up any dead foliage in early summer, just after it's finished blooming. This will produce denser foliage and will encourage it to rebloom. Divisions can be made every few years in summer.
