Creeping Phlox
Phlox subulata
(floks) (sub-yoo-LAH-tuh)
Every few years conditions
seem just right for this colorful groundcover to shine. It is a literal carpet
of color right now. After flowering it generally creeps back into garden
obscurity until the following year. It seems happy to be growing in a crack in
sidewalk and other kind of rough areas and doesn’t seem to flourish in rich
soil garden borders. It is a nice plant for this time of year.
This second picture is a
white form that has blended nicely with Sedum ‘Dragon’s Blood’.
