Description
4-6" tall x 12-18" wide. ‘Candy Stripe’ welcomes spring with a playful displays of rose-pink petals each striped white along the margins. The vibrant blooms attract butterflies to the garden and make great companions to spring bulbs. Native to dry, rocky slopes and open woodlands in the eastern states, creeping phlox looks right at home along the sunny edge of a shade garden or scrambling over rocks. ‘Candy Stripe’ tolerates a wide range of soil types provided they have good drainage. Plants flower best in full sun, but benefit from afternoon shade in hot southern states. The dense mat of evergreen foliage resembles moss, lending the plant one of its common names of moss phlox. Encourage dense vegetative growth by cutting plants back up to one-half following the spring bloom. A low maintenance and waterwise groundcover.
Creeping Phlox is a favorite perennial groundcover in all growing regions. Cold hardy and heat tolerant, it creates a colorful carpet of low-growing, cheerful blooms that appear each spring atop a deep green mat of evergreen foliage. A rapid spreader, Creeping Phlox is masterful at filling spaces in between trees, rolling down gentle slopes or steep banks, and covering areas that are hard to care for with its solid swath of color. Very dependable and tolerant of many soil types. Deer resistant.

Beautiful
"Plants came earlier than expected and exactly as advertised. They were all healthy and packaged well for shipping!"
Growing well with quite a
"Growing well with quite a few blooms."
Easy to plant
"We purchased 108 of these plants to put along our driveway. Planting was very easy! They seem to be holding up well. It also appears they survived the first frost. Instructions said to plant in the Fall or early Spring. We planted in September! Only gave 3 stars because we won't start seeing any blossoming until the Spring. Hopefully they'll survive an upstate NY winter."
Very healthy- should bloom next spring

Beautiful pink ground cover
"WOW, these creeping phlox are doing so well in our front garden - they have grown very full and more than doubled in size. I ordered more to add to my garden bed. They bloom in early spring and are a lovely pink color, so welcoming."
LOVELY ADDITION ALONG FENCE
"I purchased these last year & they got settled in over the winter. In May of this year they produced buds & are blooming with sweet "candy stripe" flowers. I just love looking at them. I planted them along the fence which is white & contrasts nicely. Thank you!"
