Phlox subulata 'Rose Quartz' PP33315 CPBRAF

SPRING BLING® Series

Phlox 'Rose Quartz' Hybrid Creeping Phlox

Common Name: Hybrid Creeping Phlox

Large, rose pink flowers (1-1¼"). A deeper shade than 'Pink Sparkles' but lighter than 'Ruby Riot'.

These spring groundcovers take creeping Phlox to the next level of refinement and beauty. Beautifully mounded habits look better later into the spring season-you'll want to show off these beauties like your finest jewelry.

Compared to the MOUNTAINSIDE® Series, these bloom earlier (depending on weather), have larger flowers and better flower coverage, and form more of a mounding habit the first two years in the ground. Mature plants will spread more in the garden.

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.
