Drummond's Pink Creeping Phlox

Drummond's Pink Creeping Phlox transforms the front of the garden into a carpet of saturated pink each spring. Large flowers nearly obscure the low, needle-like foliage at peak bloom, while its creeping stems spread outward to create a dense mat only a few inches tall. Bees and early butterflies readily visit the flowers.

As a selection of the eastern North American native Phlox subulata, ‘Drummond's Pink’ retains the species' affinity for sunny, rocky, sandy, and well-drained sites. The foliage remains evergreen to semi-evergreen through much of its range, giving it value as a living groundcover even after flowering has finished.

• Provide excellent drainage and plenty of sun.
• Lightly shear the foliage after flowering if desired to encourage a dense, tidy mat.
• Remove encroaching stems where its spread needs to be contained.
