Ground-covering plants create a carpet of spring color

Creeping Phlox (Phlox subulata) is a favorite of gardeners all across the country – both cold hardy and tolerant of heat, these ground-covering plants bloom in a solid carpet in spring. A rapid spreader, creeping phlox can be planted to cover banks, fill spaces under tall trees, and spill and trail over slopes and container rims. Planted in one color, or as a rainbow of mixed varieties, creeping phlox creates one of the most dependably perennial groundcovers you can plant. Deer resistant.
