Description

Creeping Phlox is a favorite for gardeners all across the country – they are ground-covering plants that bloom in a solid carpet in spring. Creeping Phlox also spreads rapidly, covering banks, spaces under tall trees, and other places where you want color. In one color, or as a rainbow, creeping phlox creates one of the most dependably perennial groundcovers you can plant.

Comments about American Meadows Creeping Phlox Emerald Blue:

These are very hardy and easy to grow. They have multiplied quite well in my flower bed. They are also good for drought prone areas. Lasted through 50+ days of 100+ degree heat. Going to buy more!

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about American Meadows Creeping Phlox Emerald Blue:

      After waiting all summer long this particular flower did not take for me at all. They did not bloom at all. They got water every day from my water sprinkler and never dried out. I do not know what went wrong.

      Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

      Merchant response: We apologize that your experience with our Creeping Phlox was not what you expected. Perennials are not guaranteed to bloom the first year but you will see blooms on your Creeping Phlox next Spring. Our gardening experts on staff are here to help at your convenience.
