About This Plant

Creeping Phlox grows more like a ground cover than other phlox species, and produces a variety of flower colors including blue, light pink, light purple, and white. It can withstand a bit of foot traffic, and planting it on slopes can help control erosion. It spreads rapidly through above-ground stolons and should be kept in moist soil until it is well established.
