Phlox stolonifera 'Sherwood Purple' (15) Quarts
a/k/a creeping phlox
Zone 2 to 8.
Full sun.
Plants reach 6 to 12 inches tall and 24 inches wide,
herbaceous perennial groundcover.
Flower clusters of very fragrant, tubular, purple-blue flowers appear at the stem ends in spring. Spreads somewhat rapidly by stolons and by sterile shoots that root at the nodes, and can form large colonies over time.
Phlox stolonifera will grow best in organic, medium moisture, slightly alkaline, well-drained soil in full sun. Good soil drainage is most important. Maximum flowering is achieved in full sun, but in southern zone summer's heat, plants welcome dappled afternoon sun.
This popular little perennial is best utilized in rocky areas, woodland gardens, slopes, native plant gardens, naturalized areas, and in flower borders. Excellent as a border plant, edging, ground cover, mass plantings, salt tolerant and easy to grow. |
