These also bloom 1-2 weeks ahead of Phlox subulata, depending on spring weather. The width are based on three year plants; the first few years in the ground, plants stay around 12-16" across.

Creeping phlox is a versatile, easy to grow groundcover for full sun. Gritty, neutral 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.
